Researchers from Dartmouth Medical School conducted a study in 2003 to look at the connection between watching actors smoking in movies and smoking initiation among adolescents. In the study, 6,522 U. S. adolescents ages 10-14 who had never tried smoking were randomly selected. Of those who subsequently tried smoking for the first time, 38% did so because of exposure to smoking in the movies. Estimate the proportion of all U. S. adolescents ages 10-14 who started smoking because of seeing actors smoke in movies by constructing a 95% confidence interval.

The 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adolescents who tried smoking for the first time because of exposure to smoking in the movies is (0.37, 0.40).

Step-by-step explanation:

A confidence interval is an interval estimate of the population parameter. The confidence interval has a certain probability of consisting the true value of the parameter.

The (1 - α) % confidence interval for the population proportion (p) is given by:

The information provided is:

*Use a z-table for the critical value.

Construct the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adolescents who tried smoking for the first time because of exposure to smoking in the movies as follows:

Thus, the 95% confidence interval for the proportion of adolescents who tried smoking for the first time because of exposure to smoking in the movies is (0.37, 0.40).

stew reads at the fastest rate of 265 words per minute.

step-by-step explanation:

it's a given that felicia reads at 260 word per minute and on connie's graph we can see that she reads 200 words per minute. since stew's table tells us that he read 795 in 3 minutes, we can divide 795 by 3 to find out how many words he reads per minute.

795/3 = 265

stew reads 265 words per minute - he reads at the fastest rate since felecia reads at 260 words per minute and connie reads at 200 words per minute.

stew (265) > felecia (260) > connie (200)

2nd one in the first row is correct
