32. Race and smoking 2015 Data collected in 2015 by the Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System revealed that in the state of New Jersey, 27.3% of whites and 47.2% of blacks were cigarette smokers. Suppose these proportions were based on samples of 3607 whites and 485 blacks. a) Create a 90% confidence interval for the difference in the percentage of smokers between black and white adults in New Jersey. b) Does this survey indicate a race-based difference in smoking among American adults? Explain, using your confidence interval to test an appropriate hypothesis. c) What alpha level did your test use?

5. In the United States, there is a strong relationship between education and smoking: well-educated people are less likely to smoke. Does a similar relationship hold in France? To find out, researchers recorded the level of education and smoking status of a random sample of 459 French men aged 20 to 60 years.36 The two-way table below displays the data. Is there convincing evidence of an association between smoking status and educational level among French men aged 20 to 60 years?

If sample data is such that for a one-tailed test of ? you can reject H0 at the 1% level of significance, can you always reject H0 for a two-tailed test at the same level of significance? Explain your answer? A. Yes. If H0 for a one-tailed test is rejected at the 1% level of significance, it will always be rejected for a two-tailed test at the same level of significance. B. No. If H0 for a one-tailed test is rejected at the 1% level of significance, it will never be rejected for a two-tailed test at the same level of significance. C. Yes. The P-value for the two-tailed test could be greater than 0.01. D. No. The P-value for the two-tailed test could be greater than 0.01.
