QUESTION 9 5 points Save Ansu Researchers collected data to examine the relationship between air pollutants and preterm births in Southern California. During the study air pollution levels were measured by air quality monitoring stations. Specifically, levels of carbon monoxide were recorded in parts per million, nitrogen dioxide and ozone in parts per hundred million, and coarse particulate matter (PM10) in ug=m". Length of gestation data were collected . 143,196 births between the years 1989 and 1993, and air pollution exposure during gestation was calculated for each birth. The analysis suggested that increased ambient PM10 and, to a lesser degree, CO concentrations may be associated with the occurrence of preterm births. a) Identify the main research question of the study. b) Who are the subjects in this study, and how many are included? c) What are the variables in the study? Identify each variable as numerical or categorical. If numerical, state whether the variable is discrete or continuous. If categorical, state whether the variable is ordinal. For the toolbar, press ALT-F10 (PC) or ALT+FN+F10 (Mac). BI U S Paragraph Arial 10pt A
