Answer to Problem 7.39TY

Yes, as there is an increase in high anger people, the percent of people suffering from CHD also increases.

Explanation of Solution

Calculation:

From part (c), the percent of people having high anger with CHD is 4.27%.

The people having moderate anger with CHD percentage is given below:-

Percentage=(Numberofpeoplehaving moderate angerwithCEDTotalnumberofpeoplehaving moderate anger)×100=1104,731×100=0.02325×100=2.33%

Thus, the percent of people having moderate anger with CHD is 2.33%.

The people having low anger with CHD percentage is shown below:-

Percentage=(Numberofpeoplehaving low angerwithCEDTotalnumberofpeoplehaving low anger)×100=533,110×100=0.0170×100=1.70%

Thus, the percent of people having low anger with CHD is 1.70%.

From the results it is observed that as the people with high anger increases the percentage of people suffering from CHD also increases.
