- A cohort study examined the association between smoking and lung cancer after following 400 smokers and 600 non-smokers for 15 years. At the conclusion of the study the investigators found a risk ratio = 17. Which of the following would be the best interpretation of this risk ratio? Answer and explain. a. There were 17 more cases of lung cancer in the smoker b. Smokers had 17% more lung cancers compared to non-smokers c. Smokers had 17 times more risk of lung cancer than non-smokers d.

A researcher believes that the proportion of girls sexting is less than the proportion of boys sexting and decides to collect data in the spring of 2010 among a random sample of middle and high school students in a large school district in the southern United States. The researcher finds 156 out of 2,169 girls are sexting and 183 out of 2,231 boys are sexting. Is there enough evidence to support the researcher's belief that the proportion of girls sexting is less than the proportion of boys sexting? Test at the 0.05 level of significance.
