Smoking cigarettes has been shown to be associated with the development of lung cancer. However, a direct correlation between how many cigarettes one smokes and the onset of lung cancer does not exist. A heavy smoker may not develop lung cancer, whereas a light smoker may develop the disease. Explain why this may be.
A survey of Canadian males was performed in during the 1980s. 52% of adult males smoked. The lifetime probability of getting lung cancer in male smokers was 17.2% compared to 1.3% in non-smoking males. c)Use your probability tree to calculate the following: An elderly Canadian male developed cancer What is the probability that he smoked? Pr[smoke | cancer] = ? pls help me with the following and explain. thank you

Studies have shown that there are significant differences in cancer rates among different ethnic groups. For example, the Japanese have very high rates of colon cancer but very low rates of breast cancer. It has also been demonstrated that when members of low-risk ethnic groups move to high-risk areas, their cancer risks rise to those of the high-risk area. For example, Japanese who live in the United States, where the risk of breast cancer is high, have higher rates of breast cancer than do Japanese who live in Japan. What are some of the possible explanations for this phenomenon? What factors may explain why the Japanese have higher rates of colon cancer than do other ethnic groups?
