Question

The following probabilities are based on data collected from U.S. adults during the National Health Interview Survey 2005-2007. Individuals are placed into a weight category based on weight, height, gender and age Probability 0.019 0.377 Underweight Healthy weight Overweight (not obese) 0.35 Obese 0.254 Based on this data, what is the probability that a randomly selected U.S. adult weighs more than the healthy weight range? 0.0889 0.35 0.254 0.604 Onone of these

would appreciate if someone can help me how to answer this question showing logical steps.

Answer 1

P(a randomly selected adult weigh more than healthy weight range)=P(overweight)+P(obese)

=0.35+0.254=0.604
