Question
Consider the following three scenarios:
1. Suppose you work for an organization that runs tests for life-threatening diseases and then discusses the results with their patients. You have just tested a 45 year old male patient, father of six, and according to the test he is terminally ill. Statistics shows that the man has seven months to live.
2. Your 31 year old daughter, who for five years has been underemployed and unemployed, announces she has secured a stable and high paying job as Director of Operations for a Colorado Marijuana facility.
3. You are working for a foreign government that has had a disease epidemic in a certain region of their country which has led to the deaths of three million children. The disease is spread by mosquitos, and the only quick and sure way to stop the epidemic is to spray Chemical H on the jungle environments where the mosquitos live. Spraying the chemical will lead to environmental issues for 20 years.
Pick one of the above scenarios and in that context, explain how your knowledge of biostatistics might inform how you address the situation and how you might advance a Biblical worldview. Fell free to add details or assumptions left ambiguous in the prompt.
Explanation / Answer
Here i will tke the first situation.
Biostatistics is a term used when statistics is applied to data arrived from medical or biological sciences, Biostatistics is about disease and health risks by evaluating and applying mathematical and statistical formulas to the factors that impact health
for any science to be developed precision is needed so does in the case of biostatics or medical sciences ,
for precision facts and observation have to be expressed numerically .
Naturally every individual is different and so does every group is different from other group i.e is to say
Biological stats , action of drugs etc depends on not only person to person but also on group to group.
This extent of variabilty can be expresses by studying medicine and statisctics combined.
There are chance of getting variations more than natural limits due to play of many external factors, so biostatics is also called science of variation
the overall objective of biolostatistics is betterment of individuals and community as a whole.
So keeping in mind the basic premises of biostatistics we will address the situation in a manner that
* the individual gets knowledge about his present health condition
* the estimated time he might live
* the chances of his outliving the timeframe (as it is a science of variation
For situation 2 : I have solved it earlier. Please search in chegg archieve. You will get it there.
