In a population of 10,000, there are 5000 nonsmokers, 2500 smokers of one pack or less per day, and 2500 smokers of more than one pack per day. During any month, there is a 5% probability that a nonsmoker will begin smoking a pack or less per day, and a 2% probability that a nonsmoker will begin smoking more than a pack per day. For smokers who smoke a pack or less per day, there is a 10% probability of quitting and a 10% probability of increasing to more than a pack per day. For smokers who smoke more than a pack per day, there is an 8% probability of quitting and a 10% probability of dropping to a pack or less per day. How many people will be in each group in 1 month, in 2 months, and in 1 year? (Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)

(a) in 1 month

nonsmokers   people
1 pack/day or less   people
more than 1 pack/day     people


(b) in 2 months

nonsmokers people
1 pack/day or less people
more than 1 pack/day     people


(c) in 1 year

nonsmokers people
1 pack/day or less people
more than 1 pack/day     people

In the book Business Research Methods (5th ed.), Donald R. Cooper and C. William Emory discuss studying the relationship between on-the-job accidents and smoking. Cooper and Emory describe the study as follows: Suppose a manager implementing a smoke-free workplace policy is interested in whether smoking affects worker accidents. Since the company has complete reports of on-the-job accidents, she draws a sample of names of workers who were involved in accidents during the last year. A similar sample from among workers...

Question 1: Let's say that instead of recruiting 20 smokers and assigning them each to one condition, we decided to try to minimize our error variance by recruiting 10 smokers, measuring how much they smoke in a week before the hypnosis treatment, then conducting the treatment and measuring them again after. Use the data from Question 1, only now take note of the "Participant" column in addition to the "Group" and "Cigarettes" columns. You can see that you have a...

Part 2: The Cohort Study Data for the cohort study were obtained from the population of all physicians listed in the British Medical Register who resided in England and Wales as of October 1951. Questionnaires were mailed in October 1951 to 59,600 physicians. The questionnaire asked the physicians to classify themselves into one of three categories: 1) current smoker, 2) ex-smoker, or 3) nonsmoker. Smokers and ex-smokers were asked the amount they smoked, their method of smoking, the age they...

3. A cohort study of smoking and bladder cancer was conducted in a small island population. There were a total of 1000 people on the island. Four hundred were smokers and 600 were not. Fifty of the smokers developed bladder cancer. Ten of the nonsmokers developed bladder cancer. C. 1. Which measure of comparison would you use to describe the absolute effect of smoking on the risk of bladder cancer among smokers? 2. What is the formula for this measure...

1. Two people work together in the same office. One smokes and the other can’t stand smoke. The person who smokes derives the following marginal benefit from smoking MBA(x) = 12 – x, where x is measured in cigarettes per day. The other person faces marginal costs of breathing smoke from cigarettes MCB(x) = x. It is possible to rent a “clean air” machine that reduces smoke from cigarettes in the air by 50% for $10 per day. It is...

40% of the population has type A blood. a) If 8 people are selected at random, what is the probability that four or less of them have type A blood? b) If 80 donors come to give blood one day, what is the probability that 40 or less of them have Type A blood (using the normal approximation)? Explain why this is higher or lower than the answer in part (a). c) If 10 people give blood one day, what...

For studying the average pulse rates between three groups of people: smokers, ex-smokers, and non-smokers, three independent random samples of male subjects were selected from the three populations of same age, race, and income level. The data, sitting pulse rates per minute measured in the morning under a fix condition, is listed below. Smokers: 88, 82, 80, 75 Ex-smokers: 70, 72, 73, 72 Non-smokers: 68, 70, 70, 75 Which of the following is correct for multiple comparisons if using 5%...

1.Quit Smoking: The New England Journal of Medicine published the results of a double-blind, placebo-controlled experiment to study the effect of nicotine patches and the antidepressant bupropion on quitting smoking. The target for quitting smoking was the 8th day of the experiment. In this experiment researchers randomly assigned smokers to treatments. We conducted a hypothesis test to determine if the side effect rates are significantly different for nicotine patches versus bupropion at a 5% level of significance. (The normality conditions...
