A study examined the relationship of a mother having influenza during pregnancy and a subsequent diagnosis of leukemia or lymphoma in the child

A study examined the relationship of a mother having influenza during pregnancy and a subsequent diagnosis of leukemia or lymphoma in the child. The general design used cancer registry records to ascertain outcome and birth certificates to record birth date. Public health records of severe influenza seasons were also examined. Assigning children who were not in utero during a serious influenza season a risk ratio of 1.0, the researchers found the RR for children exposed during the first trimester was 3.5, during the second trimester it was 2.7, and during the third it was 1.0.

a)  What are the stated null and alternative hypotheses?

b)  Describe the type of study design used.

c)  Overall, do you think the study design used was a good choice?  If yes, why?  If no, why not?

d)  How strongly can the researchers assert that a mother having influenza during pregnancy is a risk factor for a subsequent leukemia or lymphoma diagnosis in the child?

e)  Describe how you might do the study using a design that is different from the one that the researchers used. Be sure to state your null and alternative hypotheses, source population, outcome, and exposure, and describe some strengths and weaknesses of your approach.  One or two

The plant manager is considering the installation of a second tank into an existing containment dike with a capacity of 175,000 gallon

The plant manager is considering the installation of a second tank into an existing containment dike with a capacity of 175,000 gallons. (Note: 1 U.S. gallon = 0.1337 cubic feet). The existing tank in the containment measures 15 feet in diameter and 12 feet in height. The second tank being planned measures 20 feet in diameter and 40 feet in height. State law requires that the dike hold at least 125% of total container capacity. Therefore, you must total all containers in the containment.
