Instructions: first, read the article the mummy"s curse: historical cohort study by mark r. nelson. The smaple size of those exposed to the curse is 25. The sample size of those not exposed to the curse is 11: how the researcher define exposure? . Because the other tombs had already been ransacked and entered. The researcher concluded that there was no curse. If the results indicated exposure and lifespan are related, it would not mean that exposure caused shorter lifespans. Provide a quote from him that backs up your answer. I found the article interesting because it showed me how statistics can be used in real life and with such an unusual topic. It relates to what we have learned in math 220 because it discusses the p value of certain characteristics and the correlation between exposure to the curse and survival.
