Suppose that we were going to conduct a study to determine if there is an increased risk of getting lung cancer based on whether

a person smokes or not. In the group of smokers(1) , we find that 10 out of 100 get lung cancer. In the non-smokers group(2), we find that 5 out of 200 get lung cancer. What is the sample relative risk?

Answer:

Sample relative risk is 4.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following in the question:

Group 1 of smokers: 10 out of 100 get lung cancer.

\text{P(Lung cancer for smoker)} = \dfrac{10}{100} = \dfrac{1}{10}

Group 2 of non-smokers: 5 out of 200 get lung cancer

\text{P(Lung cancer for non-smoker)} = \dfrac{5}{200} = \dfrac{1}{40}

Sample relative risk:

  • It is the ratio of probability of an outcome in an exposed group to the probability of an outcome in an unexposed group.

Sample relative risk =

\dfrac{\text{P(lung cancer for smokers)}}{\text{P(lung cancer for non smokers)}}\\\\=\dfrac{\frac{1}{10}}{\frac{1}{40}} = \dfrac{40}{10} = 4

Thus, sample relative risk is 4.

What is the surface area of the triangular prism?
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

222 cm²

Step-by-step explanation:

Each triangle's area is 6 cm², each side rectangle's area is 75 cm², and the bottom rectangle's area is 60 cm². Since there are two triangles, two side rectangle's, and one bottom rectangle, you would add all of their areas together:

6 + 6 + 75 + 75 + 60 leads you to the answer of 222 cm².

The weight of an organ in adult males has a​ bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 320 grams and a standard deviation of 45 gr
irina1246 [14]

Answer:

a) 99.7%

b) 68%

c) 68% of organs weighs between 275 and 365 grams, so 32% of organs weighs will be less than 275 or more than 365 grams.

d) 81.5% of organs weighs between 290 grams and 365 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

A) 99.7% of organs will be between 3 standard deviation from the mean.

320 - 3 \times 45 = 185

320 + 3 \times 45 = 455

So 99.7% of organs will be between 185 and 455.

B) 275 grams and 365 grams are 1 standard deviation from the mean.

From empirical rule about 68% data falls within 1 standard deviation from the mean.

So 68% of organs weighs btwn 275 grams and 365 grams.

C) Since 68% of organs weighs between 275 and 365 grams, so 32% of organs weighs will be less than 275 or more than 365 grams.

D) 230 is 2 standard deviation below the mean and 365 is one standard deviation above the mean.

According to the empirical rule, 95% of the observation lies within 2 standard deviations of the mean. Therefore 5% lies outside 2 standard deviations of the mean.

So 95%/2 = 47.5% of organs weighs between the mean and 230 grams.

According to the empirical rule about 68% data falls within one standard deviation from the mean.

so, 68%/2 = 34% of organs weighs between the mean and 365 grams.

So total = 47.5% + 34% = 81.5% of organs weighs between 290 grams and 365 grams.

What property is 74.5*0=0
Nadya [2.5K]
<span>74.5 x 0 = 0 belongs to the multiplication property of zero.
Because this property has a rule that any number multiplied by zero, the answer is zero.
It will not matter how big or small the number is, if it will be multiplied by zero, the answer will always be zero.
Another example:
=> 1000 x 0 = 0
=> 1524 x 0 = 0
=> .25 x 0 = 0
Notice, that even decimal numbers multiplied by zero is still zero.</span><span>
