A Study Looked for a Protein Marker That Might Help

Question 8

Multiple Choice

A study looked for a protein marker that might help predict active flare-ups in a particular chronic disease. A sample of 32 individuals with the diseases had some blood taken to determine their disease status (active flare-up or inactive) and the relative abundance of the protein marker in their blood. We use logistic regression to model disease status as a function of relative abundance. Software gives the following information:
For Log Odds of Active/Inactive
 Term  Estimate  Std Error  Intercept 6.1862.416 tive abundance 6.2292.651\begin{array} { c c c } \text { Term } & \text { Estimate } & \text { Std Error } \\\text { Intercept } & - 6.186 & 2.416 \\\text { tive abundance } & 6.229 & 2.651\end{array} We want to know if the slope of the logistic regression model is significant. What is the P-value for the two-sided test?


A) Greater than 0.10
B) Between 0.05 and 0.10
C) Between 0.01 and 0.05
D) Less than 0.01
