Question 10: (6 Points): a. Calculate a Mantel-Haenszel value for the following RRs that were obtained from a stratified analysis of smoking in a study examining the association between exposure to high sodium (salt) diets and the risk of strokes (2 Points). RR Smokers = 3.5 RR Non-Smokers = 2.9 b. Can you determine if smoking is a confounder based on the magnitude of confounding if the Crude RR for the study in letter a was 5.5? Explain why or why not including the magnitude of confounding. (2 points) c. Let's say the adjusted RRS for letter a had been RR for Smokers = 3.5 and RR for non-smokers = 4. What would these numbers suggest should be considered? (2 Points):
