- 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_forwardA recent report by PEW Research Center, published on February 25, 2022 summarizes American views on Russia threat as follows. “When it comes to rising U.S.- Russia tensions, an early January survey found that 26% of Americans considered the Russian military buildup near Ukraine to be a major threat to U.S. interests, while 33% said it was a minor threat to U.S. interests. Another 7% said it was no threat at all. A relatively large share of U.S. adults (33%) said they were not sure how Russian actions toward Ukraine affected U.S. interests.” Answer the questions based on the proportions listed above. (a) Use the binomial distribution to estimate the probability that more than half of 20 randomly selected US adults consider Russian military buildup near Ukraine to be a major or a minor threat to U.S. interests. (b) Use the normal approximation to estimate the probability that more than half of 20 randomly selected US adults consider Russian military buildup near Ukraine to be a major or…arrow_forwardIs it a good idea to give routine cancer screening test for a healthy person ?arrow_forward
- Agree or disagree thoughtfully with the following statements in full detail regarding quantitative research to complement to or improve the discussion (Fully cite all resources in-text from recent peer-reviewed scientific journals and provide a reference section at the end) : Quantitative research is a systematic method of collecting and analyzing numerical data to answer scientific questions. It helps in summarizing, finding patterns, making predictions, testing causal associations, and generalizing results. Quantitative approaches provide logical, data-driven insights, addressing decision challenges when data is limited. Modern statistical methods combine multiple data sets into a single likelihood framework, avoiding loss of information caused by separate steps (Bhandari, 2023). Statistical inference methods use metrics like information theory, likelihood ratios, and probability to provide quantitative and qualitative results. Modern methods enable the combination of multiple types…arrow_forwardWhich of the following best describes a characteristic of action research?A.

A total of 34,887 men from different study sites in the United States, Canada, and Puerto Rico were randomly selected. To be eligible to participate, the men had to take a rectal examination that showed he was not suspicious of having prostate cancer and be aged 50 years or older for black men and 55 years or older for all others. Each man was randomly assigned to receive one of four treatments: selenium, vitamin E, selenium and vitamin E together, or a placebo. The men were followed up after 8 years to see if they had developed prostate cancer or not. The main question of interest is to determine if the risk of developing prostate cancer differs by the treatment taken. The data are summarized in the table below: No Prostate Cancer Prostate Cancer Total Selenium 8,752 8,737 8,702…arrow_forward
