In 2001, the conclusion of the study outlined in given Exercise was questioned. A new 9-year study was conducted in Sweden, comparing 21,088 women who had mammograms with 21,195 who did not. Of the women who underwent screening, 63 died of breast cancer, compared to 66 deaths among the control group. (The New York Times, Dec 9, 2001)
a) Do these results support the effectiveness of regular mammograms in preventing deaths from breast cancer?
b) If your conclusion is incorrect, what kind of error have you committed?
Exercise:
Mammograms. It's widely believed that regular mammogram screening may detect breast cancer early, resulting in fewer deaths from that disease. One study that investigated this issue over a period of 18 years was published during the 1970s. Among 30,565 women who had never had mammograms, 196 died of breast cancer, while only 153 of 30,131 who had undergone screening died of breast cancer.
a) Do these results suggest that mammograms may be an effective screening tool to reduce breast cancer deaths?
b) If your conclusion is incorrect, what type of error have you committed?
