Research Scenario A: A bored statistics student wants to determine if there is a relationship between the number of cigarettes smoked (X) and the number of beers drank (Y) over the duration of a televised Buffalo Bills game. Here are the data: QUESTION 15 Continuing with Research Scenario A (from #13), in determining if there is a relationship between cigarette smoking and beer consumption, what is the obtained Person's product moment correlation coefficient (r)? Please round your final answer to...
The table below notes that the death rate from lung cancer among those who smoked 1 pack per day or more of cigarettes for those who had stopped smoking within one year than for current smokers. Death Rates from Lung Cancer among Current Smokers and Ex-smokers by Length of Time since Smoking Had Stopped and by Heaviest Consumption 1 Age Standardized Death Rates per 100,000 < 1 ppd cigarette smoking ≥ 1 ppd cigarette smoking Still smoking in 2012 57.6...
Lung Cancer & Smoking Case Study A causal relationship between cigarette smoking and lung cancer was first suspected in the 1920s on the basis of clinical observations. To test this apparent association, numerous epidemiologic studies were undertaken between 1930 and 1960. Two studies were conducted by Richard Doll and Austin Bradford Hill in Great Britain The first was a case-control study begun in 1947 comparing the smoking habits of lung cancer patients with the smoking habits of other patients. The...
You are examining the number of new cases of lung cancer between smokers and menthol cigarettes, full flavor cigarettes and light flavor cigarettes. The appropriate test to use is: Student t-test Chi-square Pearson's correlation coefficient ANOVA

Dr. Johnson conducted a study to assess the effect of cigarette smoking on lung cancer. The study findings showed an association between cigarette smoking and lung cancer, with a reported odds ratio (OR)=1.0. What does this number (1.0) convey about the association between the two variables? (underlie the correct answer). A. non-smokers were more likely to have lung cancer than smokers B. non-smokers were less likely to have lung cancer than smokers C. smokers and non-smokers had an equal chance...
We know that a researcher calculated a correlation coefficient for the association between smoking and lung cancer rate is 0.737 using the data in Table 1. In addition, the researcher have estimated x ̅ = 603.64, y ̅ = 20.55, s_x= 378.451, s_y= 11.725, and r = 0.737. a. Calculate the slope coefficient b for y ̂ = a + bx. Round the answer to the nearest 10,000th b= b. Calculate the intercept coefficient a for y ̂ = a...
