Cholesterol Cholesterol in human blood is necessary, but too much can lead to health problems. There are three main types of cholesterol: HDL (high-density lipoproteins), LDL (low-density lipoproteins), and VLDL (very low-density lipoproteins). HDL is considered “good” cholesterol; LDL and VLDL are considered “bad” cholesterol. A standard fasting cholesterol blood test measures total cholesterol, HDL cholesterol, and triglycerides. These numbers are used to estimate LDL and VLDL, which are difficult to measure directly. Your doctor recommends that your combined LDL/VLDL cholesterol level be less than 130 milligrams per deciliter, your HDL cholesterol level be at least 60 milligrams per deciliter, and your total cholesterol level be no more than 200 milligrams per deciliter. (a) Write a system of linear inequalities for the recommended cholesterol levels. Let x represent the HDL cholesterol level, and let y represent the combined LDL VLDL cholesterol level. (b) Graph the system of inequalities from part (a). Label any vertices of the solution region. (c) Is the following set of cholesterol levels within the recommendations? Explain. LDL/VLDL: 120 milligrams per deciliter HDL: 90 milligrams per deciliter Total: 210 milligrams per deciliter (d) Give an example of cholesterol levels in which the LDL/VLDL cholesterol level is too high but the HDL cholesterol level is acceptable. (e) Another recommendation is that the ratio of total cholesterol to HDL cholesterol be less than 4 (that is, less than 4 to 1). Identify a point in the solution region from part (b) that meets this recommendation, and explain why it meets the recommendation.
It describes a scenario in which a math teacher named Matt allows his students to use a 1-page reference sheet during exams, and compares the effectiveness of this method to a colleague's method of providing a pre-made reference sheet for students.
A serious side effect of allergy medicines is that they cause drowsiness, which can cause many problems for the individuals taking them. In recent years, a new non-drowsy allergy medicine has been developed. The company that created the medicine claims to be the first, once-a-day, non-drowsy allergy medicine (call it Medicine A). An independent research group wanted to check on this claim by comparing medicine A with another allergy medicine not advertised as non-drowsy (call it Medicine B). A random sample of 3,193 allergy sufferers was selected and each individual was randomly assigned to take either Medicine A or Medicine B. From the Medicine A group, 114 of 1,604 reported drowsiness and from the Medicine B group, 155 of 1,589 reported drowsiness. Calculate and label the two sample proportions separately. Next, calculate the difference between these sample proportions by subtracting (Medicine A – Medicine B). Complete these calculations by hand, label each of them, and…
As you read about each study, (a) classify the type of research that it reflects, and (b) identify the kinds of conclusions that might reasonably be drawn from the results. An educational psychologist videotapes 20 high school history teachers in action for a period of 4 weeks. He then codes every teacher statement as belonging to one of three categories: whether it (a) presents new information, (b) asks a question, or (c) gives instructions. He summarizes this information and compares the amount of teacher questioning to the students' scores on a district-wide history achievement test given later in the year. The researcher finds that when teachers ask a lot of questions in class, students are more likely to score at high levels on the achievement test. (a) Classify the research as one of the following: Quantitative/descriptive Quantitative/correlational Quantitative/experimental Quantitative/quasi-experimental Qualitative Mixed methods, and…

With a terrain and make of concrete, experience from national highways suggests that there are, on the average, 2 potholes per mile after a certain amount of usage. We wish to know how likely it is to find no more than one pothole in a section of 5 miles of a highway. What is the average number of potholes in a section of 5 miles of a certain highway?
Amit Almor, a psychology researcher at the University of South Carolina, conducted a series of experiments on conversation and attention level. He found that subjects were four times more distracted while preparing to speak or speaking than when they were listening. This research has many implications, including those for the issue of using cell phones while driving. You decide to explore this issue by having three different groups try tracking a fast-moving target on a computer screen. The first group is preparing to speak, the second group is speaking, and the third group is listening to a conversation. The sample mean and sum of squares of the scores for each of the three groups are presented in the following table. Group Sample Mean Sum of Squares Preparing to speak 98.3 7,2810.0900 Speaking 101.5 6,6156.8100 Listening 103.2 70,277.7600 After collecting the data, you analyze the data using an ANOVA. The results of your analysis are presented in the following…
An engineer tries three different methods for selecting a linear model. First she uses an informal method based on the F statistic, as described in Section 8.3. Then she runs the best subsets routine, and finds the model with the best adjusted R² and the one with the best Mallows’ Cp. It turns out that all three methods select the same model. The engineer says that since all three methods agree, this model must be the best one. One of her colleagues says that other models might be equally good. Who is right? Explain.
In one of their studies, Strayer and his students tested whether people would get better at driving while talking on a cell phone if they practiced doing so (Cooper & Strayer, 2008). They had participants drive in a simulator while talking on a hands-free cell phone and while not talking on a phone. The same people participated over several days, so they had a chance to practice this multitasking. On the first day, they were considered to be least experienced; on the last day, the most experienced. On the last day, they were tested in both a familiar environment and a slightly different driving environment to see if the first days of practice would transfer to a new context. The researchers collected data on how many collisions (accidents) the drivers got into on the simulator. All of the data is in the picture below!! Please answer the following questions about the study! 1. What kind of design is this? (put your answer in the form ___X___ 2. What are the Vs and their levels in…
A researcher wants to know why individuals in Community A have a higher rate of a rare form of cancer when compared to those living in Community B. To find out the reasons for the differences in cancer rates in these two communities, the investigator surveyed residents about their lifestyle, noted the types of businesses that were present in the community and searched medical records. The researcher found that the headquarters for the Toxico Chemical Plant is located in Community A, there is a higher rate of cigarette smoking in this community and residents tended to delay or skip going to the doctor for an annual checkup. In Community B, the largest employer was a department store and on average, residents did not smoke as much as residents from Community A. However, like individuals from Community A, Community B residents tended to delay or skip their annual checkup with their doctor. 1. What makes this a descriptive study?
An apartment management company wants to explore the consequences of allowing residents to have multiple dogs. They would like to find out whether the number of dogs predicts resident ratings. They would also like to control for the year the apartment complex was built because that might also affect the resident rating. They have collected data on several of their existing complexes. For each complex, they have counted the number of dogs currently living in the complex, the year the complex was built, and the average rating for that particular complex. They would like to perform a multiple regression on these variables to predict resident ratings. See data below. These data are the same as the previous question. Consequences of Multiple Dogs Number of dogs Year of facility Rating (out of 5) 54 1975 2 31 1964 3.5 0 2015 4.8 11 2011 3.8 73 1964 2.3 23 2016 3.7 0 2015 4.7 49 1989 2.7 What is the p-value for Number of Dogs?
