Suppose you observe a relationship between two categorical variables in a sample based on 22,000 people. If this observed relationship were based on a sample of 600 people rather than 22,000, how would this affect the believability of the results (if at all)? Explain your answer.

Question 2

Whether or not we can rule out chance as an explanation for the relationship observed in a sample depends on what two things?

Answer to Question 1

AN OBSERVED RELATIONSHIP IS MUCH MORE BELIEVABLE IF IT IS BASED ON A MUCH LARGER SAMPLE SIZE. SAMPLE RESULTS FROM LARGER SAMPLES ARE LESS LIKELY TO VARY FROM SAMPLE TO SAMPLE AND ARE MORE LIKELY TO REPRESENT THE TRUTH ABOUT THE POPULATION.

Answer to Question 2

1) THE STRENGTH OF THE RELATIONSHIP OBSERVED IN THE SAMPLE; AND 2) HOW MANY PEOPLE WERE INVOLVED IN THE STUDY.

Dogs have been used in studies to detect various cancers in human subjects. They have been trained to sniff breath samples from humans that were collected by having them breathe into special tubes. These people included 55 lung cancer patients, 31 breast cancer patients, and 83 cancer-free patients. The dogs detected 54 of the 55 lung cancer patients as having cancer, detected 28 of the 31 breast cancer patients, and gave only three false-positive results (detecting cancer in people who didn't have it).
