QUESTION 4

Use the table provided in Part 5. Based on the data provided, what statistical test do you think was used to compare the median time from onset of symptoms to categories of age at diagnosis among patients with Crohn's disease.

A. Two sample t-test

B. Kruskal Wallis test

C. Chi-square test

D. ANOVA

E. Wilcoxon rank sum test

QUESTION 5

Using the table in Part 5. Please interpret the findings for median time from onset of symptoms to diagnosis and age at diagnosis. 

A. Based on a p-value=0.005, the median time from the onset of symptoms to diagnosis, varied significantly across categories of age. A post-test is needed to determine specifically which categories varied from the others.

B. Based on a p-value=0.005, the median time from the onset of symptoms to diagnosis was not significantly different across categories of age at diagnosis.  

C. Based on a p-value=0.005, the median time from the onset of symptoms to diagnosis was significantly lower among those aged >60 years compared to all other age groups. 

D. Based on a p-value=0.005, the median time from the onset of symptoms to diagnosis was not significantly lower among those aged >60 years compared to all other age groups.
