In an ANOVA calculation evaluating causation, the mean square within groups value represents the ordinary amount of variation that exists in the data set. What does the mean square between groups value represent?
 
  a. The effect that the interventional conditions produce
  b. The average of all variations in the data set
  c. Total variation
  d. The differences that exist among the several interventional conditions

Question 2

Which of the following statements about prediction is true? (Select all that apply.)
 
  a. Simple linear regression can predict possible changes in A, given B.
  b. Multicollinearity is used to provide definitive attribution in predicting dependent variables with similar outcomes.
  c. Multiple regression can provide information about the strongest predictors, C, D, E, and F, associated with an outcome variable G.
  d. Odds ratio is used to predict the likelihood of a dichotomous event, in the light of a different dichotomous variable.
  e. Logistic regression is used to predict a dichotomous variable, using a variety of other variables.
  f. Cox hazard regression can predict the likelihood of an event occurring at certain points in time.

Answer to Question 1

ANS: A
The term mean square (MS) is used interchangeably with the word variance. The formulas for ANOVA compute two estimates of variance: the between groups variance and the within groups variance. The between groups variance represents differences between the groups/conditions being compared, and the within groups variance represents differences among (within) each groups' data. Therefore, the formula is F = MS between/MS within.

Answer to Question 2

ANS: A, C, D, E, F
Simple linear regression provides a means to estimate the value of a dependent variable based on the value of an independent variable. Multicollinearity occurs when the independent variables in a multiple regression equation are strongly correlated with one another. Multiple regression is an extension of simple linear regression in which more than one independent variable is entered into the analysis. When both the predictor and the dependent variable are dichotomous (having only two values; also called binary), the odds ratio is a commonly used statistic to obtain an indication of association. Logistic regression replaces linear regression when the researcher wants to test a predictor or predictors of a dichotomous dependent variable. Logistic regression can have continuous predictors or nominal predictors or a combination of the two, with no assumptions regarding normality of the distribution. The major difference between using Cox regression as opposed to linear regression is the ability of survival analysis to handle cases where survival time is unknown. Whereas logistic regression yields odds ratios for each predictor to represent the relationship between that predictor and y, Cox regression yields hazard ratios.

Hypertension is a silent killer because it is deadly and has no significant early symptoms. The danger from hypertension is the extra load on the heart, which can lead to hypertensive heart disease and kidney damage. This occurs without any major symptoms until the high blood pressure becomes extreme. Regular blood pressure checks are an important method of catching hypertension before it can kill you.

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.

Although the Roman numeral for the number 4 has always been taught to have been "IV," according to historians, the ancient Romans probably used "IIII" most of the time. This is partially backed up by the fact that early grandfather clocks displayed IIII for the number 4 instead of IV. Early clockmakers apparently thought that the IIII balanced out the VIII (used for the number 8) on the clock face and that it just looked better.

Though “Krazy Glue” or “Super Glue” has the ability to seal small wounds, it is not recommended for this purpose since it contains many substances that should not enter the body through the skin, and may be harmful.
