Summary Introduction
To determine:
The increase in heart disease is due to trans-fat consumption then plot a relationship on the graph.
Introduction:
Trans fat is an unhealthy substance which is prepared by the chemical process of hydrogenation of oils. Trans fats increase bad cholesterol levels and decrease the good cholesterol levels. Consuming trans fats raises heart disease and stroke risk.

If you mix together an equal number of F+ and F− cells, how would you expect the proportions to change over time? In other words, do you expect an increase in the relative proportion of F+ or of F− cells? Explain your answer.
A packing plant fills bags with cement. The weight X kg of a bag of
cement can be modelled by a Normal distribution with mean 50 kg
and standard deviation of 2kg.
a) If a bag is selected is at random, find the probability that the
weight of the bag is greater than 55 kg.
b) If three bags are selected at random, find the probability that
2 bags weigh more than 55 kg.
c) Compute the probability in part a using RStudio.
What does P-value indicate? In statistical analysis the results for two sets of data are presented with P < 0.01 and P<0.005. What does it mean?

- A woman with normal parents whose brother has phenylketonuria (PKU) marries a normal man who has a sister affected by PKU. If in a general population the incidence of PKU at birth is 1 in 3,600, what is the probability that their first child will be affected? 0.0017 0.0625 0.111 0.0033 0.998arrow_forwardCalculate the 2 possible values of x in this equation: x2 – 16x + 48 = 0, either by using the quadratic equation developed by Abu Abd-Allah ibn Musa al-Kwarizmi, or by factoring the integer values of x.

Phenylketonuria is particularly common in Turkey, where 1 in 2600 children are born with the disease. As of 2011, the population of Turkey was 73.6 million. Based on this data, and assuming that the Turkish population is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium. (a) Estimate the number of carriers of phenylketonuria in Turkey (b) Estimate the proportion of unaffected individuals who are carriers.arrow_forward
- Pairs of genetically related people were examined with regard to the rate at which they metabolize glucose. For 25 pairs of individuals that had each of the following relationships, correlation coefficients for glucose metabolism were determined: Mother-daughter: 0.36 Mother-granddaughter: 0.17e Sister-sister: 0.39 Sister-sister (fraternal twins): 0.40 Sister-sister (identical twins): 0.77 What is the average heritability for the rate of glucose metabolism in this group of females?arrow_forwardWhat does the Apgar score measure?arrow_forwardUpon comparing the mass of Fuji apples grown on two farms in Georgetown, KY--one using organic fertilizer and a neighboring farm using commercial fertilizer, the a research program commissioned by the USDA finds that the mean mass of organically and commercially grown apples are 224.2 g and 224.6 g, respectively. The standard error for both means is 0.015 g. The statistical test obtained by comparing the mass of several thousand apples from each farm (organic: 6,000, commercial: 78,000) produced a p-value of 0.001. What is correct interpretation of the results? The apples from the non-organic apples tend to be heavier than organic apples. There is no discernible difference in the mass of apples grown on both farm; this is supported by the statistically significant P-vale of 0.001. O Apples from the commercial farm were heavier than those from the organic farm, and this difference is statistically significant. O The difference in mass of apples from the two farms is negligible.arrow_forward
