Final answer:
Males have a higher percentage of smokers compared to females. The percentage of smokers for the entire sample is 34.4%. Approximately 51.6% of the smokers in the sample are female.
Step-by-step explanation:
To determine which gender has a higher percentage of smokers, we need to calculate the percentage of smokers for each gender. Let's start by finding the percentage of male smokers. From the given data, we know that out of 973 men, 379 use smartphones. So the percentage of male smokers is (379/973) * 100 = 38.98%. Now let's calculate the percentage of female smokers. Out of 1304 women, 404 use smartphones. So the percentage of female smokers is (404/1304) * 100 = 30.99%. Therefore, males have a higher percentage of smokers compared to females.
To find the percentage of smokers for the entire sample, we need to calculate the total number of smokers and divide it by the total number of people surveyed. Adding the number of male smokers (379) and female smokers (404) gives a total of 783 smokers. The total sample size is 973 + 1304 = 2277. So the percentage of smokers for the entire sample is (783/2277) * 100 = 34.36% (rounded to one decimal place).
To calculate the percentage of female smokers in the sample, we divide the number of female smokers (404) by the total number of smokers (783) and multiply by 100. So the percentage of female smokers in the sample is (404/783) * 100 = 51.62% (rounded to one decimal place).
