Answer to Question 1

SSXY is a distance measure between the X and Y coordinates; SSXY = . To eliminate the effect of sample size, SSXY is divided by the degrees of freedom to calculate the covariance. To make the measure scale-independent, the covariance is divided by the standard deviation of the two variables to calculate the linear correlation coefficient (r). The coefficient of determination (r2), the square of the linear correlation coefficient, is the percentage of variation shared by two variables. r2-adjusted prevents the r2 value from increasing when statistically meaningless variables are added to the regression.

An identified risk factor for osteoporosis is the intake of excessive amounts of vitamin A. Dietary intake of approximately double the recommended daily amount of vitamin A, by women, has been shown to reduce bone mineral density and increase the chances for hip fractures compared with women who consumed the recommended daily amount (or less) of vitamin A.

Most strokes are caused when blood clots move to a blood vessel in the brain and block blood flow to that area. Thrombolytic therapy can be used to dissolve the clot quickly. If given within 3 hours of the first stroke symptoms, this therapy can help limit stroke damage and disability.

Over time, chronic hepatitis B virus and hepatitis C virus infections can progress to advanced liver disease, liver failure, and hepatocellular carcinoma. Unlike other forms, more than 80% of hepatitis C infections become chronic and lead to liver disease. When combined with hepatitis B, hepatitis C now accounts for 75% percent of all cases of liver disease around the world. Liver failure caused by hepatitis C is now leading cause of liver transplants in the United States.
