Question
In
1944,
an organization surveyed
1100
adults and asked, "Are you a total abstainer from, or do you on occasion consume, alcoholic beverages?" Of the
1100
adults surveyed,
352
indicated that they were total abstainers. In a recent survey, the same question was asked of
1100
adults and
330
indicated that they were total abstainers. Complete parts (a) and (b) below.(a) Determine the sample proportion for each sample.
The proportions of the adults who took the
1944
survey and the
recent
survey who were total abstainers are
nothing
and
nothing,
respectively.(Round to three decimal places as needed.)

- 1) The data below come from a study that investigated the usefulness of MRI to diagnose breast cancer. Of the 650 women in the study, 13 had breast cancer, and the MRI exam detected breast cancer in 12 of these women. Of the 637 women who did not have breast cancer, the MRI correctly identified that no cancer was present for 547 of them. The accompanying table summarizes this information.
