It seems that teens, especially teenage boys, $\overset{(1)}{{\underline{\text{can't hardly}}}}$ get enough to eat sometimes. However, they may not be eating the foods that are $\overset{(2)}{{\underline{\text{most}}}}$ best of all for their health. In one Gallup poll, $87$ percent of teens listed their favorite foods as hamburgers, cheeseburgers, pizza, and luncheon meats. $\overset{(3)}{{\underline{\text{These type}}}}$ of foods are generally very high in fat and sodium. Not surprisingly, American teens have more access to fast food $\overset{(4)}{{\underline{\text{than any teens}}}}$ in the world. Teens who don't eat a variety of foods from the Food Guide Pyramid often $\overset{(5)}{{\underline{\text{feel badly}}}}$ after meals. Yet other teens may have never even heard of this guide. According to some experts, using the pyramid and avoiding fast foods can help Americans eat $\overset{(7)}{{\underline{\text{more healthful}}}}$ than they do now. It also helps them consume $\overset{(8)}{{\underline{\text{less}}}}$ fat calories. So you would do $\overset{(9)}{{\underline{\text{well}}}}$ to follow the experts' advice. It may be $\overset{(10)}{{\underline{\text{indispensably}}}}$ to maintaining your health over time.

A. cannot hardly

On any given day, a student is either healthy or ill. Of the students who are healthy today, 95% will be healthy tomorrow. Of the students who are ill today, 55% will still be ill tomorrow. a. What is the stochastic matrix for this situation? b. Suppose 20% of the students are ill on Monday. What fraction or percentage of the students are likely to be ill on Tuesday? On Wednesday? c. If a student is well today, what is the probability that he or she will be well two days from now?

There is a bewildering number of breakfast cereals on the market. Each company produces several different products in the belief that there are distinct markets. For example, there is a market composed primarily of children, another for diet-conscious adults, and another for health-conscious adults. Each cereal the companies produce has at least one market as its target. However, consumers make their own decisions, which may or may not match the target predicted by the cereal maker. In an attempt to distinguish between consumers, a survey of adults between the ages of 25 and 65 was undertaken. Each was asked several questions, including, income, and years of education, as well as which brand of cereal they consumed most frequently. The cereal choices are:

1. Sugar Smacks, a children’s cereal

2. Special K, a cereal aimed at dieters

3. Fiber One, a cereal that is designed and advertised as healthy

4. Cheerios, a combination of healthy and tasty

The results of the survey were recorded using the following format:

Column 1: Cereal choice

Column 2: Age of respondent

Column 3: Annual household income

Column 4: Years of education

Determine whether there are differences between the incomes of the consumers of the four cereals.

Let A represent the number of the paycheck for the year. For example, if the paycheck was the fifth of the year, A is 5. Let B represent the biweekly gross pay.

Use the document to answer the following questions. The British Parliament debated a bill that would ban factory owners from hiring children under the age of nine or working children under sixteen longer than sixteen hours in a day. "[Lord Kenyon] proceeded to enter into some detail of the evidence given before the committee, for the purpose of showing the Injury that resulted to the health of the children, from being employed for 14, 15, or 16 hours a day in places heated to 80, 85 and nearly 90 degrees... The Earl of Rosslyn said, . . . (it was) as an incontestible fact, that parents were the natural guardians of the health and prosperity of their own children, and that the legislature ought to be slow to interfere with free labour.... “—from the record of the House of Lords debate on the Cotton Factories Regulation Bill, June 14,1819. What reason does the Earl of Rosslyn give for arguing against legislation that would protect child workers?

The distribution of baby weights at birth is left-skewed because of very low birth weight premies. However, within a close range of gestation times, birth weights are approximately Normally distributed. For babies born at full term (3 7 to 39 completed weeks of gestation), for instance, the distribution of birth weight (in grams) is approximately N(3350, 440).6 Low birth weight babies ( weighing less than 2500 grams, or about 5 pounds, 8 ounces) are at an increased risk of serious health problems. Very low birth weight babies (weighing less than 1500 grams, or about 3 pounds, 4 ounces) have the highest risk for health problems.

(a) What proportion of babies born full term are low birth weight babies?

(b) What proportion of babies born full term are very low birth weight babies?

Health Care Costs The table shows the total amount (in billions of dollars) spent on health services and supplies in the United States (including Puerto Rico) for the years $1993$ through $1999.$ The variables $y_1, y_2$, and $y_3$ represent out-of-pocket payments, insurance premiums, and other types of payments, respectively.

$$\begin{array}{|c|c|c|c|} \hline \text{Year} & y_{1} &y_2 &y_3 \\ \hline 1993 & 148.9 & 295.7 & 39.1 \\ 1994 & 146.2 & 308.9 & 40.8 \\ 1995 & 149.2 & 322.3 & 44.8 \\ 1996 & 155.0 & 337.4 & 47.9 \\ 1997 & 165.5 & 355.6 & 52.0 \\ 1998 & 176.1 & 376.8 & 54.8 \\ 1999 & 186.5 & 401.2 & 58.9 \\ \hline \end{array}$$

Use the regression feature of a graphing utility to find a quadratic model for $y_1$ and linear models for $y_2$ and $y_3$. Let $t=3$ represent $1993.$
