Obesity and Age. A person is said to be overweight if his or her body mass index (BMI) is between 25 and $29,$ inclusive; a person is said to be obese if his or her BMI is 30 or greater. From the document Utah Behavioral Risk Factor Surveillance System (BRFSS) Local Health District Report, issued by the Utah Department of Health, we obtained the following table. The first two columns of the table provide an age distribution for adults living in Utah. The third column gives the percentage of adults in each age group who are either obese or overweight. $$\begin{array}{|l|c|c|} \hline \text { Age (yr) } & \text { \% adults } & \begin{array}{c} \text { \% obese or } \\ \text { overweight } \end{array} \\ \hline 18-34 & 42.5 & 41.1 \\ 35-49 & 28.5 & 57.9 \\ 50-64 & 16.4 & 68.2 \\ 65 \text { \& over } & 12.6 & 55.3 \\ \hline \end{array}$$ a. What percentage of Utah adults are overweight or obese? b. Of those Utah adults who are between 35 and 49 years old, inclusive, what percentage are overweight or obese? c. Of those Utah adults who are overweight or obese, what percentage are between 35 and 49 years old, inclusive? d. Interpret your answers to parts (a)-(c) in terms of percentages.

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) estimated the percent of individuals in each state who are classified as overweight or obese in different years. They calculated the estimates separately for three different age classes, including children (2–4 years old), adolescents (students in grades 9–12), and adults (aged 18 years and older). The boxplots display the given five-number summaries (Min, First Quartile (Q1), Median, Third Quartile (Q3), Max) computed based on the data for two different age classes. Match the appropriate descriptions to the data sets. Answer Bank: 25% of the values are more than 20.60 the distribution is close to symmetrical 25% of the values are less than 11.00 25% of the values are less than 8.70 the distribution is skewed to the right 25% of values are less than 13.42 the distribution is skewed to the left 25% of the values are more than 17.10 25% of the values are less than 13.80 25% of the values are more than 15.68 25% of the values are more than 15.82

Obesity is a growing public health concern worldwide. Adults with a body mass index (BMI) of 25 or greater are considered overweight or obese. The following table shows the number of adults (in millions) who are overweight or obese in countries with different income levels, based on data from the World Health Organization and the United Nations. Use this information to answer the following matching questions. Country income level | Millions with high BMI | Millions with BMI < 25 | Total High | 549 | 414 | 963 Upper middle | 612 | 1042 | 1654 Lower middle | 288 | 1083 | 1371 Low | 63 | 357 | 420 All | 1512 | 2896 | 4408 What is the probability that an adult is from an Upper middle income level or has a BMI < 25? 0.7958 Compute the following probability: P(high BMI given high-income country). 0.1245 What is the probability that an adult lives in a high-income country and has a high BMI? 0.1245 Compute the following probability: P (high-income country | high BMI). 0.3631 What is the probability that an adult has a high BMI? 0.3430
