Cigar smoking and cancer. The Journal of the National Cancer Institute (Feb. 16, 2000) published the results of a study that investigated the association between cigar smoking and death from tobacco-related cancers. Data were obtained for a national sample of 137,243 American men. The results are summarized in the table below. Each male in the study was classified according to his cigar-smoking status and whether or not he died from a tobacco-related cancer.

	Died from Cancer
Cigar Smoking	Yes	No	Totals
Never Smoked	782	120,747	121,529
Former Smoker	91	7,757	7,848
Current Smoker	141	7,725	7,866
Totals	1,014	136,229	137,243

Find the Odds Ratio for Dying versus Not Dying from Cancer for a Current Smoker compared with a Never Smoker. Hint, you must do the odds for each group first. The current smoker is the numerator for the odds ratio. Use 4 significant decimal places for your answer, and use the proper rules of rounding. I am looking for just the answer, not the equation.

The National Cancer Institute conducted a 2-year study to determine whether cancer death rates for areas near nuclear power plants are higher than for areas without nuclear facilities. A spokesperson for the Cancer Institute said, "From the data at hand, there was no convincing evidence of any increased risk of death from any of the cancers surveyed due to living near nuclear facilities.” (1 points for each) Let p denote the proportion of the population in areas near nuclear...

The National Institute of Mental Health published an article stating that in any one-year period, approximately 9.5% of American adults suffer from depression or a depressive illness. Suppose that in a survey of hundred people in a certain town, seven of them suffered from depression or a depressive illness. Conduct a hypothesis test to determine if the true proportion of people in that town suffering from depression or a depressive illness is lower than the percentage in the general adult...
