Suppose that a cohort study of body mass index and coronary heart disease (chd) was undertaken. participants were classified as having either a high or normal body mass index. because age is associated with both body mass index and risk of chd, age was considered a potential confounder and the age of each participant was recorded. the following data were gathered from the study participants:

1) set up the two by two to evaluate the crude association between body mass index and chd and calculate the crude risk ratio?

2) set up the two by two tables to evaluate the relationship between body mass index and chd stratified by age. that is, calculate the risk ratios separately for the young and old participants?

3)is age a confounder in this study? how do you know?

An airplane consumes fuel at a constant rate while flying through clear skies, and it consumes fuel at a rate of 64 gallons per minute while flying through rain clouds. let c represent the number of minutes the plane can fly through clear skies and r represent the number of minutes the plane can fly through rain clouds without consuming all of its fuel. 56c+64r < 900056c+64r< 9000 according to the inequality, at what rate does the airplane consume fuel while flying through clear skies, and how much fuel does it have before takeoff? the airplane consumes fuel at a rate of gallons per minute while flying through clear skies, and it has gallons of fuel before takeoff. does the airplane have enough fuel to fly for 60 minutes through clear skies and 90 minutes through rain clouds?
