Question 2 / 7: 

Use the following information for questions 1-3:

In a cohort study of breast cancer in older women, there are two groups, those who were exposed to a known carcinogen and those who were not.

In the unexposed group, the mean systolic blood pressure was 105 mm Hg, with a standard deviation of 12 mm Hg. The sample size of the unexposed group was 196. What is the 95% confidence interval for the mean systolic blood pressure of this group?
Answer: 

First, find the standard error:

= Standard deviation / sqrt(N)

= 12 / sqrt(196)

= 12/14 = 0.857

Then, calculate the confidence intervals:

95% CI = mean + 1.96*SE

= 105 + 1.96*0.857

= 105 + 1.68

= (103.3, 106.7)
