Cholesterol levels above 240 mg/dL demand medical attention. a. What percentage of women aged 20-34 have levels above 240 mg/dL?
b. What percentage of men 55-64 have levels above 240 mg/dL? Cholesterol levels from 200 -240 are considered borderline high.
c. What percentage of women aged 20-34 have levels between 200 and 240 mg/dL?
d. What percentage of men 55-64 have levels between 200 and 240 mg/dL?

a.   7.92% are above 240 mg/dL

b.   31.33% are above to 240 mg/dL

c.   27.1% have borderline high levels between 200 and 240 mg/dL

d.  41.06% have borderline high levels between 200 and 240 mg/dL

Step-by-step explanation:

From the given information:

a. What percentage of women aged 20-34 have levels above 240 mg/dL?

= 7.92% are above 240 mg/dL

b.    What percentage of men 55-64 have levels above 240 mg/dL? Cholesterol levels from 200 -240 are considered borderline high.

=31.33% are above to 240 mg/dL
