Comparing Proportions<\/div>\r\n
A Swedish longitudinal study investigated the use of herbal medicine products and food supplements among the elderly. In this study, researchers asked participants aged 60\u201396 years whether they use at least one herbal medicine product and if they use at least one food supplement. Data on sex and whether they use at least one food supplement for 1,380 study participants are summarized in the table below.[footnote]Stjernberg, L., Berglund, J.,&Halling, A. (2006).

Question 3<\/h3>\r\n
3) Now we will compare the proportions of study participants who takefood supplements between the two groups, males and females.<\/div>\r\n
Part A: What proportion of males takefood supplements in this study?<\/div>\r\n
Part B: What proportion of females takefood supplements in this study?<\/div>\r\n
Part C: Use your answers from Parts A and B to determine which group hasa greaterproportion taking food supplements in this study, males or females.<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n<\/div>\r\n
