Cardiovascular Hospitalizations. From the Florida State Center for Health Statistics report, Women and Cardiovascular Disease Hospitalizations, we found that, for cardiovascular hospitalizations, the mean age of women is 71.9 years. At one hospital, a random sample of 20 of its female cardiovascular patients had the following ages, in years. $$\begin{array}{lllll}\hline 75.9 & 83.7 & 87.3 & 74.5 & 82.5 \\78.2 & 76.1 & 52.8 & 56.4 & 53.8 \\88.2 & 78.9 & 81.7 & 54.4 & 52.7 \\58.9 & 97.6 & 65.8 & 86.4 & 72.4 \\\hline\end{array}$$

Cardiovascular Hospitalizations. From the Florida State Center for Health Statistics report Women and Cardiovascular Disease Hospitalization, we obtained the following table showing the number of female hospitalizations for cardiovascular disease, by age group, during one year. $$\begin{array}{|l|c|} \hline \text { Age group (yr) } & \text { Number } \\ \hline 0-19 & 810 \\ 20-39 & 5,029 \\ 40-49 & 10,977 \\ 50-59 & 20,983 \\ 60-69 & 36,884 \\ 70-79 & 65,017 \\ 80 \text { and over } & 69,167 \\ \hline \end{array}$$ One of these case records is selected at random. Find the probability that the woman was a. in her $50 \mathrm{s}$ b. less than 50 years old. c. between 40 and 69 years old, inclusive. d. 70 years old or older.

Some investigators believe that only cholesterol levels over 250 mg/dL indicate a high enough risk for heart disease to warrant treatment. What proportion of the population does this group represent? Cardiovascular Disease, Pulmonary Disease. The duration of cigarette smoking has been linked to many diseases, including lung cancer and various forms of heart disease. Suppose we know that among men ages 30-34 who have ever smoked, the mean number of years they smoked is 12.8 with a standard deviation of 5.1 years. For women in this age group, the mean number of years they smoked is 9.3 with a standard deviation of 3.2.
