(6) A researcher was interested in studying college students’ health habits while at school. He distributed a health habits survey to a random sample of 400 students at a large public university. After analyzing the data, the researcher found that 98% of respondents consumed some form of sugary drink on a daily basis. Furthermore, he also found that 92% of respondents had a healthy body-mass index (BMI). He concluded that college students who consume sugary drinks will almost always have a healthy body-mass index. Is his conclusion correct? Why or why not? (7) In problem #6, are the data presented parameters or statistics? How do you know?
