- 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.arrow_forwardCross Tabulation-What percentage of households headed by high school graduates earn less than $50,000 (49,900 or less)?arrow_forwardInfectious Disease One hypothesis is that gonorrhea tends to cluster in central cities. You may need to use the appropriate technology to answer this question. Suppose 10 gonorrhea cases are reported over a 3-month period among 10,000 people living in an urban county. The statewide incidence of gonorrhea is 40 per 100,000 over a 3-month period. Is the number of gonorrhea cases in this county unusual for this time period? (Use the Poisson approximation to the binomial distribution. Round your answer to four decimal places.) The number of gonorrhea cases in this county over this time period is ✓ unusual, since the probability of observing at least 10 cases is Need Help?

They provide information and support to other healthcare providers, or to individuals and familiesconcerned with the risk of inherited conditions. They work in university medical centers, private and public hospitals, and physicians' offices. They work with families, patients, and other medical professionals. Most work full time and typically need a master's degree. The median annual wage for genetic counselors was $67,500 in May, 2014.SOURCE: Bureau of Labor and Statistics, U.S. Department of Labor, Occupational Outlook Handbook , 2016 -2017 Edition, Genetics Counselors .Sickle cell disease is an inherited blood disorder that affects red blood cells.
