Question
The body mass index (BMI) was measured in 1200 randomly selected adults, with the results shown in the table.
BMI | |||
under 18.5 | 18.5 - 25 | over 25 | |
Men | 36 | 165 | 315 |
Women | 75 | 274 | 335 |
a. Give a point estimate for the proportion of all men whose BMI is over 25.
b. Assuming the sample is sufficiently large, construct a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of all men whose BMI is over 25.
c. Give a point estimate for the proportion of all adults, regardless of gender, whose BMI is over 25.
d. Assuming the sample is sufficiently large, construct a 99% confidence interval for the proportion of all adults, regardless of gender, whose BMI is over 25.
