a.
Some
biases
that
may
come
into
play:
exposure-suspicion
bias,
possible
prevalence-
incidence
(Neyman)
bias,
recall
bias
(at
least
among
the
living
participants).
There
is
also
quite
a
few
confounding
factors
that
can
be
identified.
There
may
be
regional,
income,
ethnic,
racial,
gender,
or
age
preferences
in
beer
brand
choices
these
should
all
be
controlled
for.
b.
You
are
calculating
an
odds
ratio
in
this
problem
because
it
is
a
cohort
study.

c.
This
question
is
problematic
your
friend
is
not
at
risk
of
having
cirrhosis
if
he
is
concerned
with
the
results
of
this
study
he
has
cirrhosis
and
is
concerned
with
his
risk
of
dying
from
it.
Thus
the
friends
question
should
read:
If
I
have
cirrhosis,
what
fraction
of
my
risk
of
dying
from
it
is
attributable
to
my
Bud
drinking?
(This
is
a
picky
point,
but
its
important
to
be
aware
of
what
information
you
can
actually
determine
from
a
study
and
what
you
cannot.)
The
question
is
asking
an
individuals
attributable
risk
percent:
AR%
=
(RR-1)/RR
=
(8.5-1)/8.5
=
88%
Therefore,
88%
of
his
risk
of
dying
from
cirrhosis
is
due
to
drinking
Bud
over
some
other
kind
of
beer.
d.
This
is
asking
a
populations
attributable
risk:
PAR%
=
Pe(RR-1)/[Pe(RR-1)]
+
1
=
(0.65*7.5)
/
[(0.65*7.5)+1]
=
82.9%
