Question

Data consistent with summary quantities in the article "Effects of Fast-Food Consumption on Energy Intake and Diet Quality Among Children" on total calorie consumption on a particular day are given for a sample of children who did not eat fast food on that day and for a sample of children who did eat fast food on that day. Assume that it is reasonable to regard these samples as representative of the population of children in the United States. (a) Use the given information to estimate the mean calorie intake for children in the United States on a day when no fast food is consumed. (Give the answer to one decimal place.) (b) Use the given information to estimate the mean calorie intake for children in the United States on a day when fast food is consumed. (Give the answer to one decimal place.) (c) Use the given information to estimate the produce estimates of the standard deviations of calorie intake for days when no fast food is consumed and for days when fast food is consumed. (Give the answer to three decimal places.) No Fast Food is consumed s = Fast Food is consumed s =
