A.

A seven-year medical research study reported that women whose mothers took
the drug DES during pregnancy were twice as likely to develop tissue
abnormalities that might lead to cancer as were women whose mothers did not
take the drug.

1. This study involved the comparison of two populations. What were the
populations?
 There are two populations involved
a. Population of women whose mothers took the drug DES during
pregnancy
b. Population of women whose mothers did not take the drug DES
during pregnancy
2. Do you suppose the data were obtained in a survey or an experiment?
 This is an example of a Survey

3. For the population of women whose mothers took the drug DES during
pregnancy, a sample of 3980 women showed 63 developed tissue
abnormalities that might lead to cancer. Identify the parameter or statistic?
 Statistic
Sample of 3980 women represented by a statistic of 63 women
who developed abnormalities

4. Cite the variable/s used in the study.

 The drug’s impact
 Administration of the drug (Dosage)
 Drug intake positivity to mothers

5. Identify the type of variable/s and its level of measurement for your answer
in number 4.
 Drug’s impact-Qualitative Variable; Nominal Level
 Administration of the drug-Quantitative Variable;Ratio Level
 Drug Intake Association or Positivity to Mothers- Qualitative
Variable;Nominal Level

B. Refer to Figure 1. Identify 10 variables and classify as to types and level of

measurement.
