A 10 -year study conducted by the American Heart Association provided data on how age, blood pressure, and smoking relate to the risk of strokes. Assume that the following data are from a portion of this study. Risk is interpreted as the probability (times100) that the patient will have a stroke over the next 10 -year period. For the smoking variable, define a dummy variable with 1 indicating a smoker and 0 indicating a nonsmoker. Risk Age Pressure Smoker
12 57 152 0
24 67 163 1
13 58 155 0
56 86 177 1

Requried:
a. Develop an estimated regression equation that relates risk of a stroke to the person's age, blood pressure, and whether the person is a smoker.
b. Is smoking a significant factor in the risk of a stroke? Explain. Use α= 0.05 .
c. What is the probability of a stroke over the next 10 years for Art Speen, a 68 -year-old smoker who has blood pressure of 175? What action might the physician recommend for this patient?

Juliana says that she can use the patterns of equivalent ratios in the multiplication table below to write an infinite number of ratios that are equivalent to 6: 10. which statement explains whether juliana is correct? she is correct because she can multiply 6 and 10 by any number to form an equivalent ratio. she is correct because 6: 10 can be written as 1: 2 and there are an infinite number of ratios for 1: 2. she is not correct because the multiplication table does not include multiples of 10. she is not correct because 6: 10 is equivalent to 3: 5 and there are only 9 ratios in the multiplication table that are equivalent to 3: 5.
