In 2010, the U.S. Congress passed the historic health care reform bill that will provide some type of coverage for the 32 million Americans currently without health care insurance. Just how widespread is the lack of medical coverage? The media claim that the segments of the population most at risk for disease and thus needing healthcare are women, children, the elderly and the poor. The following tables were generated from the U.S. Census Bureau, Current Population Survey, Annual Social and Economic Supplement (2011). The tables report the number of uninsured (in thousands) by sex, by age, and by household income.
Is being insured or not dependent on gender? Fill in the degrees of freedom and p-value in the output below and draw a clear conclusion indicating which gender is more at risk of not being insured if there is a significant difference.

- The National Center for Health Statistics, housed within the U.S. Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC), tracks the number of adults in the United States who have health insurance. According to this agency, the uninsured rates for Americans in 2018 are as follows: 5.1% of those under the age of 18, 12.4% of those ages 18-64, and 1.1% of those 65and older do not have health insurance (CDC website). Approximately 22.8% of Americans are under age 18, and 61.4% of Americans are aged 18-64. Given that the person is an uninsured American, what is the probability that the person is 65 or older (to 3 decimals)?arrow_forwardU.S. Divisions and Regions.

You are interested in how much time workers spend per day on personal calls, emails, and social networking websites, as well as how much time they spend socializing with coworkers versus actually working. The most recent census provides data for the entire population of US workers on variables such as travel time to work, time spent at work, and break time at work. The census, however, does not include data on the variables you are interested in, so you obtain a random sample of 83 full-time workers in the United States and ask about personal calls, emails, and so forth. You are curious about how your sample compares with the census, so you also ask the workers the same questions about work that are asked in the census. Suppose the mean time spent at work per day from the most recent census is 8.32 hours, with a standard deviation of 0.91 hours. Your sample of 83 US workers…arrow_forward
