In the United States, there has historically been a strong relationship between smoking and education, with well-educated people less likely to smoke. To examine whether this pattern has changed, a sample of 459 men was selected at random from those who had visited a health center for a routine check-up over the course of the past year. Education is classified into three categories corresponding to the highest level of education achieved, and smoking status is classified into four categories. Education Nonsmoker Former Moderate Heavy Total
High School 56 54 41 36 187
College 37 43 27 32 139
Graduate School 53 28 36 16 133
Total 146 125 104 84 459

1. The proportion of former smokers with a university education is:

a. 0.15
b. 0.34
c. 0.22
d. 0.57

2. The proportion of men with a high school education that are current or former smokers is:

a. 0.12
b. 0.30
c. 0.78
d. 0.70

answer: the answer is one of

step-by-step explanation:   we are given to write a proper fraction where the whole is divided into an even number of equal parts less than ten, and an odd number of those parts exist.

an even number less than 10 may be one of 2, 4, 6 or 8. so, the whole may be one of these four evens.

now, an odd number of these parts must exist, so the numerator must be an odd number, one of 1, 3, 5 or 7. it cannot be 9 because then the fraction will become improper.

thus, our fraction may be one of the following

55.44 inches

step-by-step explanation:

part a. assuming a perfectly linear relationship, we can find the slope from the first two data points.

slope = m = (change in rainfall)/(change in years)

= (61.80 -62.33)/(2005 -2004) = -0.53/1 = -0.53

then the point-slope form of the equation of the line can be written as

y = m(x -h) +k . . . . . m = -0.53, (h, k) = (0, 62.33)

y = -0.53x +62.33 . . . x = years after 2004

part b. in 2017, x = 2017 -2004 = 13. then the predicted rainfall is

y = -0.53·13 +62.33 = 55.44 . . inches

the predicted rainfall in 2017 is 55.44 in.
