a. Explanation Calculation: There were a total of 443,000 smoking-related deaths in United States. Among the deaths 128,900 are due to lung cancer, 126,000 are due to Ischemic heart disease, 92,900 are due to chronic obstructive pulmonary disease and 95,200 are due to other illness respectively. The probability of the event E can be obtained by the formula: P ( E ) = Number of outcomes in E Number of outcomes in sample space Here, event E denotes that smoking-related death was the result of lung cancer b. To determine Compute the smoking-related death was the result of either Ischemic heart disease or other.

Contingency Table

A contingency table can be defined as the visual representation of the relationship between two or more categorical variables that can be evaluated and registered. It is a categorical version of the scatterplot, which is used to investigate the linear re…

Binomial Distribution

Binomial is an algebraic expression of the sum or the difference of two terms. Before knowing about binomial distribution, we must know about the binomial theorem.

Characterize (with proof) all connected graphs that contain no even cycles in terms oftheir blocks.

Let G be a connected graph that does not have P4 or C3 as an induced subgraph (i.e.,G is P4, C3 free). Prove that G is a complete bipartite graph

Prove sufficiency of the condition for a graph to be bipartite that is, prove that if G hasno odd cycles then G is bipartite as follows:Assume that the statement is false and that G is an edge minimal counterexample. That is, Gsatisfies the conditions and is not bipartite but G − e is bipartite for any edge e. (Note thatthis is essentially induction, just using different terminology.) What does minimality say aboutconnectivity of G? Can G − e be disconnected? Explain why if there is an edge between twovertices in the same part of a bipartition of G − e then there is an odd cycle
