Q1. Ages for ID 1-10

Ages: 68, 50, 58, 58, 47, 51, 51, 40, 40, 69
[ \text{Mean age}=\frac{532}{10}=53.2\text{ years} ]
Sorted ages: 40, 40, 47, 50, 51, 51, 58, 58, 68, 69
[ \text{Median}=\frac{51+51}{2}=51\text{ years} ]
Answer: Mean = 53.2 years; Median = 51 years.

Q2. ID 11-20

(a) Range of survival months

Survival months: 64, 92, 56, 38, 64, 49, 105, 62, 107, 77
[ \text{Range}=107-38=69\text{ months} ]

(b) Mean deviation of age from mean

Ages: 68, 46, 65, 48, 62, 61, 56, 43, 48, 60
[ \bar{x}=\frac{557}{10}=55.7 ]
[ \text{Mean deviation}=\frac{\sum|x-\bar{x}|}{10} =\frac{75.6}{10}=7.56 ]
Answer: Range = 69 months; Mean deviation of age = 7.56 years.

Q3. Regional nodes examined for ID 21-30

Values: 15, 15, 4, 18, 26, 31, 25, 14, 14, 10
[ \bar{x}=\frac{172}{10}=17.2 ]
[ \sum(x-\bar{x})^2=585.6 ]
Using the sample formula:
[ s^2=\frac{585.6}{9}=65.07 ]
[ s=\sqrt{65.07}=8.07 ]
Answer: Sample variance = 65.07; Sample standard deviation = 8.07.
If population formulas are required: variance = 58.56, SD = 7.65.

Q4. Mortality by marital status, ID 1-15

Marital categoryAliveDeadTotalProportion dead
Married9110(1/10=10%)
Non-married: single/divorced/widowed415(1/5=20%)
Answer:
  • Married patients dead = 10%
  • Non-married patients dead = 20%
Higher mortality is seen in the non-married group.

Q5. Chi-square test: Estrogen status vs survival status, ID 1-15

Observed table

Estrogen statusAliveDeadTotal
Positive12214
Negative101
Total13215

Expected frequencies

[ E_{\text{Positive, Alive}}=\frac{14\times13}{15}=12.13 ]
[ E_{\text{Positive, Dead}}=\frac{14\times2}{15}=1.87 ]
[ E_{\text{Negative, Alive}}=\frac{1\times13}{15}=0.87 ]
[ E_{\text{Negative, Dead}}=\frac{1\times2}{15}=0.13 ]
[ \chi^2=\sum\frac{(O-E)^2}{E}=0.165 ]
Degrees of freedom:
[ df=(2-1)(2-1)=1 ]
Critical value at (df=1), 5% significance level = 3.84
[ 0.165 < 3.84 ]
Answer: (\chi^2 = 0.165), (df=1). The association is not statistically significant. Estrogen status and alive/dead status are not significantly associated in this sample.
Note: several expected frequencies are below 5, so Fisher's exact test would be more suitable in practice.

Q6. Correlation and regression, ID 1-10

Let:
  • (X) = Regional nodes examined
  • (Y) = Regional nodes positive
[ \sum X=136,\quad \sum Y=49 ]
[ \sum X^2=2348,\quad \sum Y^2=551,\quad \sum XY=865 ]
[ r=\frac{n\sum XY-\sum X\sum Y} {\sqrt{[n\sum X^2-(\sum X)^2][n\sum Y^2-(\sum Y)^2]}} ]
[ r=\frac{10(865)-136(49)} {\sqrt{[10(2348)-136^2][10(551)-49^2]}} ]
[ r=0.505\text{ approximately} ]
So, there is a moderate positive correlation between regional nodes examined and regional nodes positive.

Regression equation predicting regional node positive from regional node examined

[ b=\frac{S_{XY}}{S_{XX}}=\frac{198.6}{498.4}=0.398 ]
[ a=\bar{Y}-b\bar{X}=4.9-(0.398)(13.6)=-0.519 ]
[ \boxed{\hat{Y}=-0.519+0.398X} ]
Where:
  • (\hat{Y}) = predicted regional nodes positive
  • (X) = regional nodes examined
Answer: Pearson correlation coefficient, (\boxed{r=0.505}).
Regression equation: (\boxed{\hat{Y}=-0.519+0.398X}).
