In a study at West Virginia University Hospital, researchers investigated smoking behavior of cancer patients to create a program to help patients stop smoking. They published the results in Smoking Behaviors Among Cancer Survivors (January 2018, Journal of Oncology Practice). In this study, the researchers sent a 22-item survey to 1317 cancer patients. They collected demographic information (age, sex, ethnicity, zip code, level of education), clinical and smoking history, and information about quitting smoking. Of the 1317 patients who were mailed surveys, 263 patients responded. For various reasons, researchers used only 237 of the completed surveys. 36 out of 136 female cancer patients reported being past smokers, and 60 out of 101 male cancer patients reported being past smokers. Calculate the difference between the corresponding sample proportions p̂₁ − p̂₂ (female minus male). Round the answer to 4 decimal places.

You are studying the effects of smoking by pregnant women on rates of asthma in their children. You collect data on the number of cigarettes smoked per day and whether or not the child developed asthma by the age of two. The data is below: Smoked 1-5 cigarettes per day --- 9.5% developed asthma Smoked 6-10 cigarettes per day --- 10.1% developed asthma Smoked 11-20 cigarettes per day --- 24.8% developed asthma Smoked 21-40 cigarettes per day --- 35.5% developed asthma Smoked 41-60 cigarettes per day --- 38.4% developed asthma Average number of cigarettes smoked per day 3 8 15.5 30.5 50.5 Percentage of children developed asthma 9.5% 10.1% 24.8% 35.5% 38.4%

Smoking and university education. A survey revealed that, of 785 subjects, randomly selected and who completed four years of university studies, 18.3% smoke and 81.7% do not smoke (according to data from the American Medical Association). Use a significance level of 0.01 to test the assertion that the percentage of smokers among those who have four years of university studies is lower than the percentage of 27% registered in the general population. Why do university graduates have a lower rate of smoking than the rest?
