- In February 2021, the Chicago Tribune reported:“The overdose epidemic that has ravaged Chicago has not spared the nearby suburbs, some of which have death rates comparable to anything seen in the city, according to a report released this week by the Cook County Department of Public Health. ZIP codes in the towns of Worth, Broadview, Maywood, and Forest Park, areas that “have substantially lower median household incomes and higher poverty rates,” have been especially hard-hit, the report said.”In the article, they claimed that lower incomes were associated with higher overdose death rates and that overdose death rates are increasing over time. The data you have been analyzing wasn’t focused on Chicago, obviously. But do your results support the general gist of the statistical argument being made in this Tribune excerpt? Please address:• Do overdose death rates appear to be associated with per capita income (use scatterplot)?• Do overdose death rates appear to be increasing over time…arrow_forwardThe brand manager for a brand of toothpaste must plan a campaign to increase brand recognition. He wants to first determine the percentage of adults who have heard of the brand.

In 2019, a national survey organization asked the question "Do you go on more than two vacations per year?" to a random sample of 2,000 Americans. 580 responded "Yes", while the other 1,420 people responded "No". Group of answer choices: A) the proportions of the sampled Americans who go on more than two vacations per year B) the proportion of all Americans who go on more than two vacations per year C) the 1,420 people who responded "No" D) the 2,000 Americansarrow_forward

It wants doctors and nurses to treat pain as a “fifth vital sign” to be recorded along with blood pressure, pulse, temperature, and breathing rate. If you were to aid the VA in this situation, how would you measure a patient’s pain? How could this “fifth vital sign” be a potentially invalid measure?

If your dog bites another animal or is on the receiving end of a bite, the vaccine can protect them from a dangerous and potentially fatal illness. Furthermore, in most places, the rabies vaccine for dogs is legally required. The NYC Department of Health wants to know if LESS than 95% of the dogs in the city have been vaccinated with their rabies vaccine. 158,045 of the 165,000 dogs examined had their rabies shots.
