Question Answered step-by-step It has been demonstrated that x-ray irradiation of the head and… It has been demonstrated that x-ray irradiation of the head and neck in children can result in malignancies of organs in the head and neck regions. The thyroid gland appears to be particularly vulnerable. A study to investigate this hazard was undertaken by obtaining a history of head and neck irradiation from a sample of children with thyroid cancer and children without cancer. The following data resulted:Relevant Radiation Exposure HistoryThyroid Cancer-YesThyroid Cancer- NoTotalExposed to radiation5060110Not exposed to radiation45420465 The odds ratio for the association between thyroid cancer (yes vs. no) and exposure to radiation (yes vs. no) in children in this study is:  A.(50/95)/(60/480)    B.(50/45) / (60/420)   C.(50/110)/(45/465)   D.110/465    Math Statistics and Probability NURS 511 Share QuestionEmailCopy link Comments (0)
