Solution: ​(a) if 200 adult smokers are randomly​ selected, how many would we expect to have started smoking before turning 18 years​ old?

Answer: It is expected that in a random sample of 200 adult smokers, 0.70 (200)=140 will have started smoking before turning 18.

​(b) would it be unusual to observe 160 smokers who started smoking before turning 18 years old in a random sample of 200 adult​ smokers? why?

Answer: Yes, it would be unusual to observe 160 smokers who started smoking before turning 18 years old in a random sample of 200 adult​ smokers, because 160 is greater than μ + 2σ

What’s the vertical asymptote of the equation f(x)=log3(x-5)
ICE Princess25 [194]

Answer:The line x=5

Step-by-step explanation:

Asymptote of a function means the straight line closest to some part of the function which tends to ∞  or -∞. We know that ln x or log x has asymptote x=0. Here , the function is f(x) = log 3(x-5), so, the vertical asymptote will be the line x =5.
