The answer is the second one: head and neck.

Explanation for each option:

  1. Stomach: While alcohol consumption can contribute to stomach cancer, the association is not as strong as it is with head and neck cancers, especially in smokers.

  2. Head and Neck: Alcohol intake in smokers is strongly associated with cancers of the head and neck. The combination of smoking and alcohol significantly increases the risk of cancers in areas such as the oral cavity, pharynx, and larynx.

  3. Liver: Alcohol is a well-known risk factor for liver cancer, but the question specifically asks about the association in smokers. The combined effect of smoking and alcohol is more pronounced in head and neck cancers.

  4. Kidneys: While smoking is a risk factor for kidney cancer, alcohol is not strongly associated with kidney cancer, especially in the context of smokers.

In summary, the combination of alcohol intake and smoking is most strongly associated with cancers of the head and neck.

Listed below are the heights ( cm ) of winning presidential candidates and their main opponents from several recent presidential elections. Find the regression equation, letting president be the predictor ( x ) variable. Find the best predicted height of an opponent given that the president had a height of 183 cm. How close is the result to the actual opponent height of 185 cm? Use a significance level of 0.05. President: 177, 188, 192, 188, 188, 183, 178, 183, 185 Opponent: 183, 173, 180, 188, 175, 185, 180, 182, 177 The regression equation is ŷ = + + + ( x. (Round the y-intercept to the nearest integer as needed. Round the slope to three decimal places as needed.)
