A common characterization of obese individuals is that their body mass index is at least 30 [BMI = weight/(height)2, where heigh

t is in meters and weight is in kilograms]. An article reported that in a sample of female workers, 265 had BMIs of less than 25, 159 had BMIs that were at least 25 but less than 30, and 121 had BMIs exceeding 30. Is there compelling evidence for concluding that more than 20% of the individuals in the sampled population are obese?

Answer & Step-by-step explanation:

Total people sampled is: 265+159+121= 545

Less than 25 (From 1 to 24.9): 265

At least 25 but less than 30(From 25 to 29.9): 159

Exceeding 30(From 30 to n): 121

Percentages:

Less than 25: 265/545= 0.486*100=48.6%

At least 25 but less than 30: 159/545=0.292*100= 29.2%

Exceeding 30:0.222*100= 22.2%

According to the definition of an obese person (From 30 to n), the 22.2% of the sampled population are obese. Then, yes more than 20% of the are obese.

The sum of two numbers is 98 and the difference between them is 48. find the two numbers.
zavuch27 [327]
So first what you want to do is take 98 and subtract it by 48. Which gives us 50. Now what we do is that since we are finding two numbers we would have to divide that by half, which would give us 25. Both of them are now equal. To find the number that makes that difference, we need to add 48 to one of the 25 values. Which would be 73. Meaning that the two numbers are 73 and 25. They both add up to 98 and 73 has a difference of 48 from 25.

What is the range of the function in the graph?
Verdich [7]

The range of the function in the graph given can be expressed as: D. 20 ≤ s ≤ 100.

<h3>What is the Range and Domain of a Function?</h3>

All the possible set of x-values that are plotted on the horizontal axis (x-axis) are the domain of a function. In order words, they are the inputs of the function.

On the other hand, all the corresponding set of x-values that are plotted on the vertical axis (y-axis) are the range of a function. In order words, they are the outputs of the function.

In the graph given below that shows a function, s is plotted on the vertical axis (y-axis), and its values starts from 20, up to 100. The range can be said to be all values of s that are from 20 to 100.

Therefore, the range of the function in the graph given can be expressed as: D. 20 ≤ s ≤ 100.
