Question

Question Help Construct one table that includes relative frequencies based on the frequency distributions shown below, then compare the amounts of tar in nonfiltered and filtered cigarettes. Do the cigarette filters appear to be effective? (Hint: The filters reduce the amount of tar ingested by the smoker.) EEB Click the icon to view the frequency distributions Complete the relative frequency table below RelativeRelativeFrequency Distributions Frequency Frequency Tar (mg) (Nonfiltered) Filtered 3-6 7-10 11-14 15-18 19 22 23- 26 27- 30 Tar (mg) in Nonfiltered Tar (mg) in Filtered Cigarettes FrequencyCigarettes Frequency 11-14 15-18 19- 22 23-26 27- 30 3-6 7- 10 11 14 15-18 16 17 (Simplify your answers.) Do cigarette filters appear to be effective?

Answer 1

SOLUTION:-

$Tar(mg))$	$Relative frequency$ $Nonfiltered$$(\frac{f}{N})$	$Relative frequency$ $Filtered$$(\frac{f}{N})$
$3-6$	$0$%	$0.04*100=4$%
$7-10$	$0$%	$0.04*100=4$%
$11-14$	$0.04*100=4%$%	$0.24*100=24%$%
$15-18$	$0.04*100=4%$%	$0.68*100=68$%
$19-22$	$0.64*100=64%$%	$0$%
$23-26$	$0.24*100=24%$%	$0$%
$27-30$	$0.04*100=4%$%	$0$%

$N=1+1+16+6+1$

$N=25$

$N=1+1+6+17$

$N=25$

Yes, it is effective
