Step-by-step solution
4 stepsQuestion 3
3.1.1
To represent the information in a pie chart, we calculate the percentage and angle for each category. The total number of deaths is 247.
Calculate the percentage for each category.
- Non-smoker:
- Cigar only:
- Pipes only:
- Mixed:
- Cigarette smoker:
Calculate the angle for each category.
- Non-smoker:
- Cigar only:
- Pipes only:
- Mixed:
- Cigarette smoker:
The calculations for the pie chart are:
- Non-smoker: ()
- Cigar only: ()
- Pipes only: ()
- Mixed: ()
- Cigarette smoker: ()
3.1.2
Two ways to increase the reliability of the investigation are:
- Increase the sample size (study more men).
- Repeat the investigation multiple times and compare the results.
3.1.3
Two factors kept constant in the investigation are:
- The age range of the men (40-79 years).
- The gender of the participants (men).
3.1.4
The habit with the least influence in causing death from lung cancer is Non-smoker, with 10 deaths per 100 000.
3.1.5
Identify the number of deaths for cigarette smokers and non-smokers.
- Deaths for cigarette smokers = 110
- Deaths for non-smokers = 10
Calculate how many times more likely a cigarette smoker is to die.
A cigarette-smoker is more likely to die of lung cancer than a non-smoker.
3.1.6
Cilia are tiny hair-like structures that sweep mucus and trapped particles out of the breathing tract. When smoking destroys cilia, mucus and harmful substances accumulate in the airways, leading to increased risk of infections, chronic cough, and respiratory diseases.
