Consider the following two studies reported in the New York Times:
a. A British study reported (December 3, 1998) that, of smokers who get lung cancer, "women were 1.7 times more vulnerable than men to get small-cell lung cancer." Is 1.7 an odds ratio, or a relative risk?
b. A National Cancer Institute study about tamoxifen and breast cancer reported (April 7, 1998) that the women taking the drug were 45% less likely to experience invasive breast cancer compared with the women taking placebo. Find the relative risk for:
(i) those taking the drug compared to those taking placebo
(ii) those taking placebo compared to those taking the drug.

Step-by-step explanation:
1) Not neccesarily. There might be a small correlation, however, you cant predict if a person will have breast Cancer only due to their bone mineral density because the probability for a woman to have breast cancer is pretty low (below 5%). According to the data given, women with high bone density are just 3 times more likely to have breast cancer, thus, the probability will be just 15%. There might be a correlation but you need more information than just the mineral bone density to predict breast cancer, there might be other causes that are not related with mineral bone density.
2) It is impractical to conduct such an experiment. The problem lies in the fact that you cant fix the amount of mineral bone density a woman have. 2 women with different BMD might be quite different in different aspects one from the other, so you wont be completly sure that the cancer was caused in one case just because of the mineral bone density alone. An ideal experiment will have identical bodies differing on mineral bone density alone, but that is in practice impossible to do.

The rocket reached its maximum height at 2 seconds.
The maximum height of the rocket is 36 yards.
Step-by-step explanation:
Quadratic equation:
In the format
The maximum height happens at the instant of time:
The maximu height is![h(t_{v})](/tpl/images/0668/5446/c4fa5.png)
In this question:
So![a = -3, b = 12, c = 24](/tpl/images/0668/5446/ac9c3.png)
When did the rocket reach its maximum height?
The rocket reached its maximum height at 2 seconds.
What was the maximum height of the rocket?
H(2).
The maximum height of the rocket is 36 yards.
