Are children with higher exposure to pesticides more likely to develop ADHD (attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder)? In one study, authors measured levels of urinary dialkyl phosphate (DAP, a common pesticide) concentrations and ascertained ADHD diagnostic status (Yes/No) for 1139 children who were repre- sentative of the general US population.7 The sub- jects were divided into two groups based on high or low pesticide concentrations, and we compare the proportion with ADHD in each group. (a) Define the relevant parameter(s) and state the null and alternative hypotheses.
(b) In the sample, children with high pesticide levels were more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD. Can we necessarily conclude that, in the popula- tion, children with high pesticide levels are more likely to be diagnosed with ADHD? (Whether or not we can make this generalization is, in fact, the statistical question of interest.)
(c) In the study, evidence was found to support the alternative hypothesis. Explain what that means in the context of pesticide exposure and ADHD?
