Activity 4: Identification of risk, relative risk, and odds What statistical term applies to each of the boldface numbers in the following quotes? Your options for each are odds, individual risk, and relative risk: 1. Fontham found increased risks of lung cancer with increasing exposure to secondhand smoke, whether it took place at home, work, or in a social setting. A person whose spouse smokes has 1.3 times the lung-cancer risk as that of someone whose spouse does not smoke. 2. What they found was that women who smoked had a risk of getting lung cancer 27.9 times as likely as non-smoking women. 3. One student in five reports abandoning safe-sex practices when drunk. 4.

According to the National Safety Council, 10% of the annual deaths from firearms were victims from birth through 19 years of age. Half of the deaths from firearms were victims aged 20 through 44 years, and 40% of victims were aged 45 years and over. A random sample of 100 deaths by firearms in a particular state indicated the following: 13 were victims from birth through 19 years, 62 were aged 20 through 44 years, and the rest were 45 years old and older. At the 0.05 level of significance, are the results different from those cited by the National Safety Council?
