Answer: The proportion of oil tankers that had spills is \dfrac{156}{474} or 0.329.

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we have given that

Number of tankers is drawn = 474

Number of tankers did not have spills = 318

Number of tankers have spills = 474 - 318 = 156

Proportion of oil tankers that had spills is given by

\dfrac{Containing\ spill}{Total}=\dfrac{156}{474}=0.329

Hence, the proportion of oil tankers that had spills is \dfrac{156}{474} or 0.329.

But in any case, I hope this helps and have a good night! :D

Brainlist answer!!Can I get some help with this, please!!
Gemiola [76]
A) The question would be "Does cell phone use time correlate to brain cancer?". The population is all cell phone users. The sample is the 469 people with brain cancer, and the 422 healthy people. 

B) This sample size may not portray the entire population of users because the positive results may have been fabricated by factors other than cell phone use. You would have to figure out the population size and determine the correct sample size. 

C) This study may not portray cell phone use correlation over a large population efficiently because of the sample size and the predetermined conclusion that cell phone use causes cancer.
