Reference no: EM131110004

An individual is considered to be overweight if his or her BMI is at least 25 (Kuczmarski et al., 1997). Estimate the percentage of overweight subjects in the NHANES III population using the SRS of 96 subjects from Problem 26 and, separately, using the four RSSs of 96 subjects each obtained in Problems 14-17. How do these five estimates compare with the actual percentage of overweight subjects in the NHANES III population?
