Introduction 1. Is the reason for conducting the study discussed? Yes. Three years of treatment with rofecoxib would reduce the risk of recurrent adenomatous polyps among patients with a history of colorectal adenomas. 2. Are the study objectives clearly defined? Yes. Limited long-term data was available for analyzing the increased risk of thrombotic events associated with the use of COX-2 inhibitors so this was designed to be a long-term study (3 years of treatment plus follow-up). 3. Is the null

formal statement that there is an absence of relationship between variables when tested by a researcher is called: (Points : 1) | Null hypothesis Type I error Type II error Negative interval | 2. Bivariate statistics refers to the statistical analysis of the relationship between two variables. (Points : 1) | True False | 3. Positive relationships between two variables indicate that‚ as the score of one increases‚ the score of the other

There is an effect in the population of sufficient magnitude to be scientifically interesting. All of the above. 4. A type I error is when: 1. 2. 3. 4. We conclude that there is a meaningful effect in the population when in fact there is not. We conclude that there is not a meaningful effect in the population when in fact there is. We conclude that the test statistic is significant

In addition to this‚ the adj. R-squared value is 0.70‚ or 70%. Both values reflect high degrees of confidence in the results of the MLR analysis. 4.1.1: Parametric Tests of Significance: In order to identify a possible positive relationship between the dependent variable and an independent variable‚ a parametric test of significant is utilized. The P value (calculated probability) in this test is the estimated probability of rejecting the null hypothesis (H0) when that null hypothesis
