Research Question: Are electronic cigarette users more vulnerable to lung-related illnesses, such as lipoid pneumonia?

• State your variables and hypotheses.
• Describe in detail what data analysis techniques would be appropriate to apply to your proposed study and justify why they are appropriate.
• Be specific and include the appropriate statistical tests. Explain why these are appropriate for your study.
• Refer to the resources provided in your readings within this module.

Answer 1

Null hypothesis, H0: electronic cigarette users are more vulnerable to lung-related illnesses.

Alternate hypothesis, H1: electronic cigarette users aren't more vulnerable to lung-related illnesses.

Dependant Variable: people with lung-related illnesses and who don't have lung-related illnesses

In-dependant Variable: people using electronic cigarette and who don't use electronic cigarette

Data analysis technique to be used: One way ANOVA

Method: We will collect sample data from more than 30 people. Then data will be divided in two groups:

Group 1	Group 2
Use electronic cigarette	Don't Use electronic cigarette

Then ANOVA need to be performed between these two groups. It is used to analyze the differences among group means in a sample.
