A survey collects demographic, socioeconomic, dietary, and health-related information on an annual basis. Here is a sample of 20 observations on HDL cholesterol level (mg/dl) obtained from the survey (HDL is "good" cholesterol; the higher its value, the lower the risk for heart disease). 34 48 53 53 64 52 52 46 87 37 45 32 38 44 62 94 36 31 47 40 (a) Calculate a point estimate (in mg/dl) of the population mean HDL cholesterol level. mg/dl (b) Making no assumptions about the shape of the population distribution, calculate a point estimate (in mg/dl) of the value that separates the largest 50% of HDL levels from the smallest 50%. mg/dl (c) Calculate a point estimate (in mg/dl) of the population standard deviation. (Round your answer to three decimal places.) mg/dl

The table below displays the coronary artery disease data. The response, presence of coronary artery disease (CA), is dichotomous. The explanatory variables are sex and electrocardiogram (ECG) measurement. Sex ECG Disease No Disease Total Female Low 4 11 15 Female High 10 18 Male Low 18 Male High 21 27 Calculate the Mantel-Haenszel's estimate of the common odd-ratio value between ECG and coronary artery disease status. Round the value to the second decimal place. For example, 2.3414 would be 2.34.
