A cohort study of smoking and lung cancer was conducted in a small island population. There were a total of 1,000 people in the study, and the study was conducted over a ten year period. Four hundred were smokers and 600 were not. Of the smokers, fifty developed lung cancer. Of the non-smokers, 10 developed lung cancer. In order to measure the strength of association between smoking and lung cancer in this population, which measure of exposure-disease association would you use

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

A measure of exposure-disease association one could use is the odds ratio (OR)

Step-by-step explanation:

An Odds ratio (OR) is a statistical measure quantifying the level of association between two events such as an exposure and an outcome

The odds ratio gives the probability of outcome where there is a given amount of exposure

We have the table;

[tex]\begin{array}{ccc}&Developed \ lung \ cancer& Did \ not \ develop \ lung \ cancer\\Smokers&50&350\\Non-smokers&10&590\end{array}[/tex]

The odds ratio = (The number of smokers with the lung-cancer)/(The number of non-smokers with lung-cancer) ÷ (The number of smokers smokers without long cancer).(The number of non-smokers without long cancer)

∴ OR = (50/10) ÷ (350/590) = 59/7 = 8.[tex]\overline{428571}[/tex] ≈ 8.4

Therefore, a smoker is approximately 8.4 times more likely to develop lung cancer than a non-smoker.

The altitude of a plane is 1200 meters. From a point on the ground, the angle of elevation of an airplane is 25º. What is the distance from point P to the airplane, to the nearest tenth of a meter? Explain your answer.

Answers

Answer:

2839.4 meters

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that:

Altitude = 1200 m

Using trigonometry :

The distance from point P to the airplane :

Using trigonometric relation :

Sin θ = opposite / hypotenus

Sin θ = altitude / x

Sin θ = 1200 m / x

Sin 25 = 1200 / x

0.4226182 = 1200 / x

x = 1200 / 0.4226182

x = 2839.4423

Distance from P to airplane = 2839.4 meters

Slope:

m=(y2-y1)/(x2-x1)

m=(4+2)/(0+1)

m=6/1

m=6

Slope-intercept:

y - y1 = m(x - x1)

y + 2 = 6(x + 1)

y + 2 = 6x + 6

y = 6x + 4

y - 16 = 6(x - 2)

y - 16 = 6x - 12

Michelle sells umbrellas. 2 9 of her umbrellas are blue, the rest are red. 5 11 of the red umbrellas have plastic covers. What fraction of the Michelle's red umbrellas that do not have plastic covers?

Answers

Answer: 14/33

Step-by-step explanation:

Since 2/9 of the umbrella are blue, the fraction for red umbrellas will be:

= 1 - 2/9

= 7/9

Since 5/11 of the red umbrellas have plastic covers. The fraction for those without plastic covers will be:

= 1 - 5/11

= 6/11

Therefore, the fraction of Michelle's red umbrellas that do not have plastic covers will be:

= 6/11 × 7/9

= 42/99

= 14/33

Be sure to clearly label each part of your response as Part A, Part B, and Part C.

Part A: If the product of x and 3 is y, write an equation to represent the relationship between the two variables.

Part B: Explain your work in Part A.

Part C: Create a table of values to display five solutions to the equation. Write the solutions as ordered pairs.

Answers

Answer:

Part A: y = 3x

Part B: The relationship of y to x is y is 3 times as much as x.

Part C: (0,0), (1,3), (2,6), (3,9), (4,12)

Step-by-step explanation:

Part A: The product of x and 3 (3 times x) is (equals) y. So we can write this linear equation as y = 3x.

Part B: The linear equation is a representation of the relationship between y and x. Y is equivalent to three times x.

Part C: To create solutions to the linear equation, simply plug in a value of x to output a y.

x = 0 -> y = 3(0) = 0; (0,0)

x = 1 -> y = 3(1) = 3; (1,3)

x = 2 -> y = 3(2) = 6; (2,6)

x = 3 -> y = 3(3) = 9; (3,9)

x = 4 -> y = 3(4) = 12; (4, 12)

Answers

Given:

A semicircle with radius 7 cm.

To find:

The circumference of the given semi circle.

Solution:

We know that,

Circumference of a semi circle = Half of circumference of the circle + Diameter

                                                    [tex]=\dfrac{1}{2}(2\pi r+d[/tex]

                                                    [tex]=\pi r+2r[/tex]

Putting [tex]\pi=\dfrac{22}{7},r=7[/tex], we get

Circumference of the semi circle [tex]=\dfrac{22}{7}(7)+2(7)[/tex]

                                                        [tex]=22+14[/tex]

                                                        [tex]=36[/tex]

Therefore, the circumference of the given semi circle 36 cm.
