6. According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), about 1 in 88 children in the U.S. have been diagnosed with autism. Suppose you consider a group of 1000 children.
(a) What is the expected number of children with autism?
(b) What is the probability that no one has autism? (It will be a really small number!)
(c) What is the probability that less than 15 children have autism?

According to the Center for Disease Control (CDC), about 1 in 88 children in the United States have been diagnosed with autism. a. In your study, you are randomly selecting a group of 24 children from the population of school-aged children in your area. Your random variable is the number of children in your sample with autism. Explain why you can use the binomial probability distribution to determine the probabilities of possible number of children in your study having autism...

Total Cholesterol According to the U.S. Center for Disease Control (CDC), the mean total cholesterol for men between the ages of 20 and 29 is 180 micrograms per decilitre with a standard deviation of 36.2. A healthy total cholesterol level is less than 200, 200–240 is borderline, and above 240 is dangerous. Assume that the distribution is approximately Normal. a. For a randomly selected man from this group, what is the probability that his total cholesterol level is 200 or...

According to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), obesity in the U.S. population increased from about 12% in 1991 to about 34% in 2006. The highest increase occurred in 18- to 29-year-olds. Although part of the reason is our increasingly sedentary lifestyle, the principal cause is our overconsumption of abundant processed food products, many of which are high in fat and sugar content. Why do you think fat tastes good to so many people, and is difficult to...

The National Center for Health Statistics, housed within the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), tracks the number of adults in the United States who have health insurance. According to this agency, the uninsured rates for Americans in 2018 are as follows: 5.1% of those under the age of 18, 12.4% of those ages 18–64, and 1.1% of those 65 and older do not have health insurance (CDC website). Approximately 22.8% of Americans are under age 18, and...

Pinworm: In a prior sample of U.S. adults, the Center for Disease Control (CDC), found that 10% of the people in this sample had pinworm but the margin of error for the population estimate was too large. They want an estimate that is in error by no more than 2.5 percentage points at the 90% confidence level. Enter your answers as whole numbers. (a) What is the minimum sample size required to obtain this type of accuracy? Use the prior...

The Center for Disease Control ("CDC") identifies an unfamiliar strain of influenza ("J6D5") in Minnesota. While little is known about J6D5, it is determined to be transmitted through respiratory droplets, making it highly contagious. Based on the documented cases of J6D5, the populations most susceptible to the virus are infants, the elderly and the already immunocompromised. Additionally, the majority of the cases have been reported in densely populated urban settings. Researchers and scientists quickly discover a vaccine for J6D5; however,...

According to the Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), the mean life expectancy in 2015 for Hispanic females was 84.3 years. Assume that the standard deviation was 15 years, as suggested by the Bureau of Economic Research. The distribution of age at death, X, is not normal because it is skewed to the left. Nevertheless, the distribution of the mean, x, in all possible samples of size n is approximately normal if n is large enough, by the central...

The Center for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated in 2011 that 48 million people (1 in 6 Americans) get sick, 128,000 are hospitalized, and 3,000 die of foodborne diseases. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration's (FDA) Food Safety Modernization Act (FSMA) is the most sweeping reform of our food safety laws in more than 70 years. It was signed into law by President Obama on January 4, 2011. The objective is to ensure the U.S. food supply is safe...

The United States Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) found that 17.9% of women ages 12–59 test seropositive for HPV?16. Suppose that Tara, an infectious disease specialist, assays blood serum from a random sample of n=1000 women in the United States aged 12–59. Apply the central limit theorem for the distribution of a sample proportion to find the probability that the proportion, p? , of women in Tara's sample who test positive for HPV?16 is greater than 0.204. Express...
