I used the cubic equation that my calculator came up with and three different x-values to come
up with three predicted y-values. And the table below is the data I came up with.

Anti-smoking campaigns could use the data to encourage people to stop smoking. They could
also use this data to predict what will happen if women smoking prevalence increases. This
information could also educate our society and possibly allow our smoking rates to go down.
Even though the data I collected did not turn out as I predicted to where the survival rate would
be lower to where the survival rate would be lower to the where the smoking prevalence is
higher, I could go further with my research and even compare the smoking rate to the rate of lung
cancer and other lung disease in the exact same countries I listed before because I found that
lung cancer effects most smokers.
