Are cigarettes bad for people? Cigarette smoking involves tar, carbon monoxide, and nicotine (measured in milligrams). The first two are definitely not good for a person's health, and the last ingredient can cause addiction. Use the data in the table above to make a stem-and-leaf display for milligrams of tar per cigarette smoked. (Enter NONE in any unused answer blanks.) Are there any outliers? A. Yes, 1.0 may be an outlier. B. No, there are no outliers. C. Yes, 29.8 may be an outlier.
A study is undertaken to investigate the self-reported health status among women with osteoporosis.
