It is known that roughly 5% of the general population carry a certain virus. A health researcher believes that among caucasian males the percentage is actually lower. Which of the following will provide the most convincing evidence to support the researcher’s suspicion? Out of 25 randomly chosen caucasian males, 1 male carries the virus. Out of 70 randomly chosen caucasian males, 3 males carry the virus. Out of 6,000 randomly chosen caucasian males, 288 males carry the virus. Out of 6,000 randomly chosen caucasian males, 240 males carry the virus.

It is known that 4% of children carry a certain virus, but a leading health researcher suspects that the percentage is actually higher. Which of the following provides the most convincing evidence to support the researcher’s suspicion? Out of 20 randomly chosen children, 1 child carries the virus. Out of 60 randomly chosen children, 3 children carry the virus. Out of 5,000 randomly chosen children, 250 children carry the virus. Out of 5,000 randomly chosen children, 210 children carry the virus.

In a random sample of 373 people that were tested for the Norcovirus, it was found that 321 did not have the virus. A 94% confidence interval was constructed to estimate the proportion of the population that does not have the Norcovirus. This confidence interval came out to be (0.83,0.89).Select the correct intrepretation of this interval.We are 94% confident that the proportion of people in the sample that tested postitive for the Norcovirus is between 83% and 89%.We are 94% confident that the proportion of people in the sample that tested negative for the Norcovirus is between 83% and 89%.We are 94% confident that the proportion of the population that have the Norcovirus is between 83% and 89%.We are 94% confident that the proportion of the population that does not have the Norcovirus is between 83% and 89%.

The dynamics of how a new virus transmits through human populations are not well understood. One theory is that it is being transmitted from human to human through exposure to mosquitoes at workplaces. If this proves to be true, installing mosquito nets at workplaces would provide employees with sufficient protection against the new virus. The scientific evidence does not yet indicate whether this hypothesis is correct. During an epidemic in a foreign country, a Canadian researcher working under the auspices of an institution eligible for Agency funding proposes a research protocol that aims to test this hypothesis. The methodology essentially consists of recruiting employees working for different employers, randomly assigning them to Group A (using mosquito nets) or Group B (control group not using mosquito nets), and assessing the relative effectiveness of mosquito nets by observing the incidence of the virus in these two groups.Consider the situation where, in the course of the research, definitive scientific evidence becomes available that the virus can be transmitted from human to human, but not through mosquitos. Do you believe that the researcher should continue the study as initially approved by the REB?

By doing so, the researcher hopes that the research will be better publicized, that the employees will feel more engaged in the research, and that recommendations based on the research results will be implemented. Do you agree that such collaboration is advisable from an ethical standpoint?

(please answer all questions by YES or NO).n order to facilitate the consent process, the researcher plans to exclude all employees who are minors and may need parental consent to participate. Based on the provided reason, would the exclusion of this group from the study be ethically acceptable?
