Question 6 / 7: 

The following scenario is for Questions 4?-6:

Consider the table of results displaying odds ratios for the outcome of salmonellosis (yes/no)

and the exposure of beet consumption (yes/no). In the multivariate models, the odds ratios are

adjusted for age, sex, and owning a beet farm.

Odds ratios (and 95% Confidence Intervals)

VariableUnadjustedAdjusted
Beet consumption1.34 (1.19, 1.70)1.27 (0.98, 1.84)

What can we infer from the results of the adjusted odds ratio?
A  Since the confidence interval crosses 1, we cannot infer an association between beet consumption
and salmonellosis.
B  We would reject the null hypothesis of no association between beet consumption and salmonellosis.
C  The p?-value for the association must be less than 0.05.
D  The alpha for this association must be less than 0.05.
E  A type I error may have been committed.
