An article in the sacramento bee (march 8, 1984, p. a1) reported on a study finding that "men who drank 500 ounces or more of beer a month (about 16 ounces a day) were three times more likely to develop cancer of the rectum than non-drinkers." in other words, the rate of rectal cancer in the beer drinking group was three times that of the non-drinkers in this study. what important numerical information is missing from this report?

Step-by-step explanation:

given that an article in the Sacramento Bee (March 8, 1984, p. A1) reported on a study finding that "men who drank 500 ounces or more of beer a month (about 16 ounces a day) were three times more likely to develop cancer of the rectum than non-drinkers."

To support this some data collected should be given.  The data should be from a sample of a large size randomly drawn from 2 groups one men who drank 500 oz or more of beer and other group not drank that much.  These people medical history with cancer patients number also should have been given.

to find the perimeter of the rectangle this is the expression:

x-9+x-9+3x-4+3x-4=138

if we simplify it:

8x-26=138

remember, 138 is what it all adds up to

the length is 11.5cm

the width is 57.5cm

the area is 661.25cm^2
