From Textbook:
``The key is to be sure that the three-way table has a lower percentage of overweight people among the smokers than among the non-smokers. As one example, take 7 smokers with 1 overweight person who dies early (of whom 4 die early). Then take 13 non-smokers with 9 overweight (of whom 3 die early) and 4 not overweight (of whom 1 dies early). Then overall, 4 0f 10 overweight people die early, and 5 of 10 non overweight people die early." (Moore & McCabe, 1998)
