an assumption underlying a simple random sample (Select all that apply)?
a. The probability of being selected is based on having specific characteristics
b. Selection into sample is independent between each member
c. The prevalence of health indicators will always be at least 25%
d. Probability of selection is the same for everyone
b. Selection into sample is independent between each member

The mean blood pressure in a sample of people from a population is 110 over 70.
For the sample to be representative of the overall population, the overall
population mean would have to be:
Similar to 110 over 70
A design feature in experimental studies that creates equal probability in
treatment assignment is what?
randomization
T/F: One purpose of randomization is to eliminate differences in measured and
unmeasured characteristics between the treated and untreated groups in the
study.
true
The primary purpose of a double blind study is to:
Avoid provider bias and participant bias
Fluoride was introduced into the water supply of Town A on January 1, 2000. A
study was conducted to compare new occurrence of cavities in children ages 3-
10 years living in two towns (Town A and Town B). The towns are located 10
miles apart. New Cavities in children were measured 5 years after fluoride was
introduced into the water supply. Fluoride in water reduced cavities. What is the
best answer for the type of study design:
Natural experiment
Which of the following statements is true about analytic and descriptive
epidemiology (select only one)?
Analytic epidemiology compares health events between two or more groups to identify
causes of those health events
A study on the prevalence of diabetes is conducted by randomly selecting 500
people from Pitt county and measuring A1c levels to determine the prevalence of
diabetes. What is being described?
taking a simple random sample
A study is conducted by recruiting 100 students aged 11-15 years old from an
urban middle school and another 100 students aged 11-15 years old from a rural
middle school. Students are randomized to one of two groups: 1) participate in an
, afterschool program focusing on exercise and nutrition or 2) do their usual after
school activity whatever it may be. What is being described?
Randomization of an intervention program
which of the following measures of association are calculated using the
incidence proportion in an exposed group and an incidence proportion in an
unexposed group (select all that apply)?
a. risk difference
b. rate difference
c. odds difference
d. risk ratio
e. rate ratio
f. odds ratio
a. risk difference
d. risk ratio
In a study, the association between smoking and coronary heart disease was
investigated by selecting for study a group of 3000 smokers and 5000 non-
smokers who were free of disease at baseline. Both groups were followed for the
development of coronary heart disease. 84 smokers developed coronary heart
disease and 87 non smokers did too. 4913 persons did not develop disease and
did not smoke. One measure of association relating exposed to unexposed would
be:
(84/3000) / (87/5000)
A 20 year cohort study generated 30 cases of heart disease in exposed group and
54,308 person years. The unexposed group had 60 cases and 51,477 person-
years. The measure of association showed 0.47. The best interpretation of this
finding is:
The exposed group had a reduced rate of heart disease compared to unexposed group.
T/F: Confidence intervals quantify the variability around a sample estimate
true
Which of the following are true statements about confidence intervals (select all
that apply)?
a. Smaller samples result in more narrow confidence intervals (better precision)
b. Larger samples result in more narrow confidence intervals (better precision)
c. The upper and lower bounds of a confidence interval represent the likely range
of values for the true measure of association
d. 95% confidence intervals remove 95% of the bias in the observed measure of
association
b. Larger samples result in more narrow confidence intervals (better precision)
c. The upper and lower bounds of a confidence interval represent the likely range of
values for the true measure of association
T/F: Bias is a systematic error that only occurs during the interpretation of
epidemiology results.
false
Which of the following can cause selection bias in a cohort study (or RCT) (Select
all that apply)?
a. Loss to follow-up
