Statistical Tests in Biostatistics Exam
Multiple Choice Question (25 questions, 4 points for each question, Please mark your answers on the
answer card)
( ) 1. Which of the following statements is incorrect?
(A) Wilcoxon Sign-Rank test is suitable for testing whether the medians of two independent
populations are equal.
(B) Wilcoxon Rank-Sum test is suitable for testing whether the medians of two independent
populations are equal.
(C) Signed test is suitable for testing whether the median of a single parent population is a
certain value.
(D) All of the above statements are true.
Question Group I
A gastroenterologist wanted to explore the effect of taking probiotics on the body's inflammatory index
(the higher the value, the more serious the inflammation), collected 12 eligible patients and measured
the inflammatory index before and after the intervention. The data is as follows:
ID 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 11 12
Inflammatory index 1.2 0.8 0.7 0.5 0.8 1.2 0.4 0.8 0.9 1.8 0.5 0.4
(Before)
Inflammatory index 1.3 0.5 0.6 0.5 0.5 0.6 0.4 1.2 0.3 1.0 0.2 0.1
(After)
Due to the small number of samples, the doctor wanted to use the Sign test in the no-matrix statistical
method to infer the impact of probiotics on the body's inflammatory index. The change of inflammatory
index refers to the inflammatory index after intervention minus the inflammatory index before
intervention. The statistical value of the test indicates the number of occurrences of positive signs, and
the statistical assumptions are as follows:
H 0 :median of change=0
H 1 : median of change ≠ 0.
Please answer questions 2 to 4 according to the above statements
(B) 2*( [C 12 2 10 12 1 11 12 0 12
2 (0.8) (0.2) ] + [C 1 (0.8) (0.2) ] + [C 0 (0.8) (0.2) ] )
(C) 2*( [C 10 2 8 10 1 9 10 0 10
2 (0.5) (0.5) ] + [C 1 (0.5) (0.5) ] + [C 0 (0.5) (0.5) ] )
(D) 2*( [C 10 2 8 10 1 9 10 0 10
2 (0.8) (0.2) ] + [C 1 (0.8) (0.2) ] + [C 0 (0.8) (0.2) ] )
Question Group II
A study investigating the effect of second-hand smoke on birth weight of newborns observed 24
pregnant women who did not smoke There were three participant group: Group A included pregnant
women who were not exposed to second-hand smoke at work or at home, Group B included pregnant
women exposed to secondhand smoke only at work or only at home, and Group C included pregnant
women exposed to secondhand smoke both at work and at home.
The data is as follows:
Group A Group B Group C Average
Sample size 8 8 8
Average Birth Weight of 6.765 6.63 6.57 6.66
Newborns (lbs)
Standard deviation of 0.12 0.16 0.12
newborn birth weight (lbs)
wrong?
R2 =
(A) r2, where r is the coefficient of Pearson correlation.
R2
(B) the value of is between 0.00 and 1.00.
R2
(C) The coefficient of determination, , is a measurement used to explain how much
variability of independent variable can be caused by its relationship to another related factor.
R2
(D) The coefficient of determination, , is a measurement used to explain how much
variability of dependent variable can be caused by its relationship to another related factor.
Question Group IV
By random sampling method, 150 male smokers over 65 years old were selected, and 60 of them were
found to be suffering from chronic obstructive pulmonary disease; Chronic Obstructive Pulmonary
Disease. Please use appropriate statistical methods to verify the relationship between smoking and the
occurrence of COPD.
Smoker Non-smoker
With COPD 60 20
Without COPD 90 180
Total 150 200
Please answer questions 19 to 22 according to the above statements
Question Group V
For 30 lung cancer patients, the researchers selected a non-lung cancer patient as a control group
according to the age and gender of the lung cancer patients, and asked them whether they smoked. The
data is as follows:
(0,1) (1,0) (0,0) (0,1) (1,0) (1,1)
(1,1) (1,0) (0,1) (0,0) (0,0) (1,0)
(1,1) (0,0) (1,0) (0,0) (1,1) (0,0)
(1,0) (1,0) (0,1) (1,0) (1,1) (1,0)
(1,0) (0,0) (0,0) (1,1) (0,0) (1,1)
(a,b): a and b represent the smoking status of the lung cancer cases and the smoking status of the paired control cases,
respectively.
(1,1) indicates that both subjects are smokers; (0,0) indicates that both subjects are non-smokers, (1,0) indicates that subjects
with lung cancer who smoke and control subjects who do not smoke, (0,1) indicates that non-smoking subjects with lung
cancer and smokers in control subjects.
The results are as follows:
Control Group
Lung cancer patient Non-smoking
Smoking (1)
(0)
Smoking (1) 7 10
Non-smoking (0) 4 9
