4) The National Health and Nutrition Examination survey estimated dietary intake of ten key nutrients. One of those nutrients was calcium (mg). They found in all adults 60 years or older a mean calcium intake of 721 mg with a standard deviation 454 mg. Assume that these values are for the population mean and standard deviation for the US population. Also, assume that the calcium intake measurements of this random variable have a population distribution shape that is skewed to...

The National Center for Health Statistics reports that 25% of all Americans between the ages of 65 and 74 have a chronic heart condition. Suppose you live in a state where the environment is conducive to good health and low stress and you believe the conditions in your state promote healthy hearts.

Adult diabetes: A National Center for Health Statistics data brief states that in 2013 9% of US. adults aged 18 and over have diagnosed diabetes. Suppose that this year, we select a random sample of 100 adults. The conditions are not met for use of a normal model since the expected number of adults with diagnosed diabetes is only 9 (9% of 100). Therefore, we ran a simulation withp = 0.09. Suppose that the sample has 15 adults (or 15%)...
