    patient-days or as little as 5.88 per 10,000 patient-days. The confidence intervals for the All-states estimate and for the ACT do not overlap, which indicates that there is a difference between the two rates. To check this, I also calculated a rate ratio: The rate ratio for these two incidence rates (blue) indicates that ACT had a 1.83-fold, or 83%, higher rate than for all other states combined. We are 95% confident that the true population rate ratio could be as much as a 2.08-fold…

    period 1 and 2 as well as the number of recaptures in period 2, we were able to estimate the population size for grasshoppers in the two locations. Utilizing a 90% confidence interval allows for the most accurate assessment of the true population size. However, the confidence intervals are quite large which could possibly bias the data. We found that the grasshopper population for the Wednesday site decreased over time, when comparing the 2015 data to data collected in 2012. Whereas the Thursday…

This provides evidence that astronauts’ foot sole skin becomes hyposensitive following space shuttle missions. We can be 95% confident that the true mean difference in the lowest detectable amplitude of a 25 Hz frequency on the big toe of an astronaut before and after a space shuttle mission (after-before), under…
