Question 324990: I'm hoping I can get a confirmation on this problem:
A study done by the Center for Academic Integrity at Rutgers University surveyed 2116 students at 21 colleges and universities. Some of the schools had an "honor code" and others did not. Of the students at schools with an honor code, 7% reported having plagiarized a paper via the Internet, while at schools with no honor code, 13% did so. (Sacramento Bee, Feb 29, 2000, D1.) For this study, the relative risk of a student having plagiarized a paper via the Internet at a school with no honor code, compared to a school with an honor code is:
A) 7/13 = 0.538
B) 87/13 = 6.692
C) 13/7 = 1.857
D) 13/87 = 0.149
I am figuring since the explanatory variable is whether there is an honor code and whether there is plagiarism is the response variable then 7/13=0.538. Fingers crossed...
Thanks,
Kim

You can put this solution on YOUR website! Looks good to me unless you text is using "relative risk"
as some secret code word for what other texts might call
something else.
