1. (15 points total) It has been hypothesized that Aspirin has cardioprotective effects. The following study recruited 22,071 participants and randomly assigned them to take either Aspirin or a Placebo. The following data cross classify Aspirin use and myocardial infarction (MI, aka heart attack) Myocardial Infarction Group Yes No Total Placebo 189 10,845 11,034 Aspirin 104 10,933 11,037 (a) (5 points) Calculate and interpret the relative risk of MI in the Aspirin group compared to the placebo group. Let E represent the Aspirin exposed group and EC represent the unexposed placebo group. Additionally, let D represent experiencing MI and D0 represent not experiencing MI. (b) (5 points) Calculate and interpret the odds ratio of MI for the Aspirin group compared to the placebo group. (c) (5 points) What recommendations could you make (if any) based on the results of this study
