Question
Refer to the data below and use the measured serum cotinine levels (in mg/mL) from the three groups of subjects (smokers, nonsmokers exposed to tobacco smoke, and nonsmokers not exposed to tobacco smoke). When nicotine is absorbed by the body, cotinine is produced. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the three samples are from populations with the same mean. What do the results suggest about the effects of secondhand smoke?
