Quizplus · Accepted Answer

Dr. Van Offer is specifically interested in studying lung cancer caused by smoking, so the parameter he would look for in the entire population would be people who are smokers and have lung cancer. The other options (people who are obese, diabetics, or have tooth decay) are not directly related to the research question.
