If a regression analysis was to be completed on body mass index (BMI), what could be an independent variable in that analysis? Why? If we could, what other independent variables should be included in the analysis? What statistic(s) would show the value of that regression in understanding BMI? Alternatively, find an article that uses regression analysis to study a medical concern. In that study, what was the dependent variable and what was the independent variable(s)? Further, how would you use...

The Body Mass Index (BMI) is a calculation used to categorize whether a person’s weight is at a healthy weight for a given height. The formula is as follows:                 bmi = kilograms / (meters2)                 where kilograms = person’s weight in kilograms, meters = person’s height in meters BMI is then categorized as follows: Classification BMI Range Underweight Less than 18.5 Normal 18.5 or more, but less than 25.0 Overweight 25.0 or more, but less than 30.0 Obese 30.0...

Body mass index (BMI) is a reliable indicator of body fat for most children and teens. BMI is calculated from a child’s weight and height and is used as an easy-to-perform method of screening for weight categories that may lead to health problems. For children and teens, BMI is age- and sex-specific and is often referred to as BMI-for-age. The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) reports BMI-for-age growth charts for girls as well as boys to obtain a...

A common characterization of obese individuals is that their body mass index is at least 30 [BMI = weight/(height)2, where height is in meters and weight is in kilograms]. An article reported that in a sample of female workers, 266 had BMIs of less than 25, 158 had BMIs that were at least 25 but less than 30, and 123 had BMIs exceeding 30. Is there compelling evidence for concluding that more than 20% of the individuals in the sampled...

The data file contains the Body Mass Index (BMI) for a sample of men and a sample of women. Two of the columns, OW_male and OW_female code the BMI values as: 0 - if BMI ≤ 25.4 (these are considered “not overweight”); 1 - if BMI >= 25.5 (these are considered “overweight”). (a) Test whether there is sufficient evidence to show that the proportion of overweight males (proportion of males who are overweight) is different than the proportion of overweight...
