(a) What proportion of the smokers were dead after 20 years? What proportion of the nonsmokers were dead after 20 years? What does this imply about the health consequences of smoking? The proportion of the smokers who were dead after 20 years is (Round to three decimal places as needed) The proportion of the nonsmokers who were dead after 20 years is (Round to three decimal places as needed) What does this imply about the health consequences of smoking? O This implies that it is healthier to smoke. This implies that it is healthier not to smoke. (b) The data in the first table do not take into account a variable that is strongly related to survival status, age. The data shown in the second accompanying table give the survival status of women and their age at the beginning of the study. For example, 14 women who were 35 to 44 at the beginning of the study were smokers and dead after 20 years. Determine the proportion of 18- to 24-year-old smokers who were dead after 20 years. The proportion of 18- to 24-year-old smokers who were dead after 20 years isD (Round to three decimal places as needed) Determine the proportion of 18- to 24-year-old nonsmokers who were dead after 20 years. The proportion of 18- to 24-year-old nonsmokers who were dead after 20 years is O (Round to three decimal places as needed.) (c) Repeat part (b) for the remaining age groups to create a conditional distribution of survival status by smoking status for each age group. Age Group 55-64 18-24 25-34 35-44 45-54 65-74 75 or older Smoker Nonsmoker (Round to three decimal places as needed.) (d) Draw a bar graph of the conditional distribution from part (c). Let the blue (left) bars represent smokers and let the red (right) bars represent nonsmokers. Choose the correct graph below. O A. В.

In almost all age groups, smokers had a higher death rate than nonsmokers. O B. There is no difference between smokers and nonsmokers. O C.
