Heart Attack Risk
Suppose that a 50-year-old man has systolic blood pressure of 110 and that 60% of his cholesterol is HDL. The risk of heart attack in the next 10 years is given in Table 7.2. If a man satisfying these conditions is selected at random and has a cholesterol level of 200, what is the probability that he will not have a heart attack by age 60?
