Assume that there are 538, 584 males 50 and older alive with CRC, and 31,346 males younger than 50 alive with CRC. What are the prevalence rates (per 100,00) for each age group?
CRC stands for colorectal cancer. Basically it is more common in individual more than 50 years of age.
Prevelance rate for male 5 yrs old or above -- number of lives / 10000. =538584/10000= 53.8
For male younger than 50 year = 31346/10000=3.13
Hence chances for CRC are more in made above 50 years of age.

Why do many people believe that older adults are more likely to be depressed than younger adults? What does the evidence on prevalence rates show?
In Canada, do young males (Y) weigh more than older males (O) on average? To investigate this question, weights of twenty males randomly selected from each group were recorded. Summary statistics are given in the following table. Assume weight of each group follows a normal distribution. (If you think the samples are independent, then assume equal variances.) Summary statistics Young (Y) Old (O) Pooled Difference Average (kg) 87.32 78.60 8.72 Standard Deviation (kg) 14.80 18.40 16.70 5.28 What will be...

The recommended daily dietary allowance for zinc among males older than age 50 years is 15 mg/day. An article reports the following summary data on intake for a sample of males age 65-74 years: n = 118, x = 12.1, and s = 6.94. Does this data indicate that average daily zinc intake in the population of all males age 65-74 falls below the recommended allowance? (Use a = 0.05.) State the appropriate null and alternative hypotheses. 5:11 PM
The recommended daily dietary allowance for zinc among males older than age 50 years is 15 mg/day. An article reports the following summary data on intake for a sample of males age 65-74 years: 2 = 111, x = 12.8, and $ = 6.70. Does this data indicate that average daily zinc intake in the population of all males age 65-74 falls below the recommended allowance? (Use a = 0.05.)
