Hello! I am currently working on a statistics project for my class and needed some feedback on the calculations I have done. I am finding the relationship between smoking status and poverty status. My hypothesis and research question being explored is: "Women in low poverty levels smoke more than women who smoke and live in above poverty levels".

I want to make sure that my calculations are right for the following risk indexes in this study and based on the following crosstabulation given in the picture below.

Absolute Risk exposed (ARe): 175/174+175=0.5014

Absolute Risk of nonexposed (ARne): 71/71+42=0.6283

Relative Risk (ARe/ARne): .5014/.6283=0.7980

Are the following calculations above correct based on the cross tabulation below?

Poverty status * Currently smokes? Crosstabulation Currently smokes? No Yes Total Poverty status Below poverty Count 174 175 349 Expected Count 185.1 163.9 349.0 Above poverty Count 71 42 113 Expected Count 59.9 53.1 113.0 Total Count 245 217 462 Expected Count 245.0 217.0 462.0
