Questions 6

A hospital analyzes the recovery rates of patients undergoing two different treatments for a specific condition. Treatment X has an overall recovery rate of 80%, while Treatment Y has a recovery rate of 90%. However, when the data is divided by age groups, Treatment X has a higher recovery rate in each age group compared to Treatment Y.

Is Simpson’s paradox present in this study?

Options:

A.  

No, because the study does not involve a confounding variable that affects recovery rates.

B.  

No, because the overall recovery rate is higher for Treatment Y.

C.  

Yes, because the recovery rates differ between the two treatments.

D.  

Yes, because the overall recovery rates are inconsistent with the age group-specific rates.
