How many discordant pairs are there where case is unexposed and the control is exposed? «1» 5. This table is called «McNemar's» table. 6. What is the estimated mOR for these data? «2» 7. What type of matched analysis is being used with this table? «unpooled» 8. What is the estimated mOR from these data (use the formula for the mOR in the box below)? «2.5» 9. What type of matched analysis is being used here? «pooled» 10. Which type of analysis should be preferred for these matched data (where smoking status is the only matched variable), pooled or unpooled? «pooled» 11. W= «2»? 12. X = «1»? 13. Y =«0»? 14.
