The proportional mortality from heart disease is 20% in Community A and 20% in Community B. The mortality rate from heart disease is 10/1000 in community A and 5/1000 in Community B. The risk of dying from heart disease is A. The same in community A and in community B B. Greater in Community B C. Greater in Community A D. Cannot be determined based on the information provided

Heart Disease As age increases, so does the likelibood of coronary heart disease (CHD). The fraction of people $x$ years old with some CHD is modeled by $$ f(x)=\frac{.9}{1+271 e^{-123 x}} $$ (a) Evaluate $f(25)$ and $f(65) .$ Interpret the results. (b) At what age does this likelihood equal $50 \% ?$

As age increases, so does the likelihood of coronary heart disease (CHD). The percentage $P$ of people $x$ years old with signs of CHD is shown in the table. $$\begin{array}{rrrrrrrr}x & 15 & 25 & 35 & 45 & 55 & 65 & 75 \\ \hline P(\%) & 2 & 7 & 19 & 43 & 68 & 82 & 87\end{array}$$ (a) Evaluate $P(25)$ and interpret the answer. (b) Find a function that models the data. (c) Graph $P$ and the data. (d) At what age does a person have a $50 \%$ chance of having signs of CHD?

Constructing Nonlinear Models
Researchers have found that the risk of coronary heart disease rises as blood cholesterol increases. This risk may be approximated by the function $$R(c)=3.19(1.006)^{c}, \quad 100 \leq c \leq 300$$ where R is the risk in terms of coronary heart disease incidence per 1000 per year, and c is the cholesterol in mg/dL. Suppose a person’s cholesterol is 180 mg/dL and going up at a rate of 15 mg/dL per year. At what rate is the person’s risk of coronary heart disease going up? Source: Circulation.
