Secondhand Smoke Kills More Than 600,000 People a Year: Study

Secondhand smoke globally kills more than 600,000 people each year, accounting for 1 percent of all deaths worldwide, according to a new study.

Researchers estimate that "passive smoking" causes about 379,000 deaths from heart disease, per year, worldwide. Passive smoking also kills 165,000 people each year due to lower respiratory disease, 36,900 deaths from asthma, and 21,400 deaths from lung cancer.

Children account for about 165,000 of the deaths. Forty percent of children and 30 percent of adults regularly breathe in secondhand smoke.

According to a report by the American Cancer Society, more men than women smoke and twice as many smokers die prematurely than nonsmokers. In random samples of 200 males and 200 females, 62 of the males and 54 of the females were smokers. • Is there sufficient evidence to conclude that the proportion of males who smoke is greater than the proportion of females who smoke? α = .01 • Calculate the p-value associated with the test

to test the claim that the resistance of electric wire can be reduced by more than 0.050 ohm by alloying, thirty two (32) values were obtained for standard wire, and the sample average calculated was equal to 0.136 ohm. in addition, thirty two (32) values were obtained for alloyed wire, and the sample average calculated was equal to 0.083 ohm. the standard deviation resistance for standard wire is known to be 0.004 ohm, whereas the standard deviation resistance for alloyed...

PURELL Advanced Instant Hand Sanitizer kills more than 99.99% of most common germs. This alcohol-based hand sanitizer works in as little as 15 seconds, with no water or towels needed. Bottles of PURELL are supposed to contain, on average, 2 fluid ounces. A random sample of bottles of PURELL was drawn, and the weight of each was recorded (in fluid ounces). The following data was obtained: 2.16, 1.98, 2.04, 2.01, 1.93, 1.99, 2.04, 2.05, 1.96, 2.01. It is assumed that...

An Agriculture Department study of more than 94,000 samples from more than 20 crops showed that 73% of conventionally grown foods had residues from at least one pesticide. Moreover, conventionally grown foods were six times as likely to contain multiple pesticides as organic foods. Of the organic foods tested, 28%had pesticide residues, which includes 7% with multiple pesticide residues. Compute two estimated probability distributions: one for conventional produce and one for organic produce, showing the relative frequencies that a randomly...
