5. What are pack years of smoking? Is there a significant difference between the moderate and severe airflow limitation groups regarding pack years of smoking? Provide a rationale for your answer.
Number of packs of cigarettes smoked by an individual person in a specific period of time is called pack years of smoking. Air flow limitation is a way to predict chronic obstructive pulmonary disease (COPD)which is the result of a prolonged time constant for lung emptying, caused by increased resistance of the small conducting airways due to narrowing and increased compliance of the lung as a result of inflammation, scarring and destruction Example ,In a study symptom burden in stable COPD patients with moderate or severe airflow limitation done by Eckerbald et al , 2014 it was found out that there was no difference between moderate and severe airflow limitation groups regarding the pack year of smoking because the p value is 0.177 (less than 5%) due to Moderate 29.1 and Severe 34 .

Assume that it is reasonable to consider this sample of smoking movie characters as representative of smoking movie characters. Do the data provide evidence of an association between sex and character type for...
