The death rate per 100,000 for lung cancer is 7 among non-smokers and 71 among smokers. The death rate per 100,000 for coronary thrombosis is 422 among non-smokers and 599 among smokers. The prevalence of smoking in the population is 55%. What is the relative risk of dying of coronary thrombosis for smokers versus nonsmokers

1.4194

Step-by-step explanation:

death rate per 100000 for cancer

for non smokers, death rate = 7

for smokers death rate = 71

death rate per 100000 coronary thrombosis

for non smokers = 422

for smokers = 599

relative risk of dying from cancer

= number of smokers / number of non smokers

= 71/7

= 10.14

relative risk of dying from coronary thrombosis

= number of smokers/number of non smokers

= 599/422

= 1.419

the relative risk of dying of coronary thrombosis is 1.4194

= 10.14

logv3(x+2)=1

rewrite in exponential form:

logb(x) = y is equal to b^y =x

b = 3, y = 1

now solve for x:

3^1 = x+2)

x = 3-2

x = 1
