Learn by DoingHere are the directions, grading rubric, and definition of high-quality feedback for the Learn by Doing discussion board exercises.ContextStudents researching backpack weights gathered data from 45 elementary school children in the 3rd and 5th grades. The variable is "percent of body weight carried in the school backpack." So a child who weighs 60 pounds and carries 9 pounds has a variable value of 15% (9 รท 60 = 0.15 = 15%). The American Chiropractic Association (ACA) recommends that children carry no more than 10% of their body weight.PromptWhen we analyze backpack weight as a percentage of body weight, how do 3rd and 5th graders compare? Are children in this study following the ACA recommendation?% of body weight carried in backpack Thirdgraders Fifthgraders0-5% 1 15-10% 6 610-15% 11 415-20% 3 720-25% 0 125-30% 0 230-35% 0 1Totals 21 22Note: Left-hand end-points are included in each bin.

Answer:

Follows are the solution to this question:

Explanation:

Recommendation from the American Chiropractic Association:

No more than
10\% of body weight should be borne through kids

Third classification:

More than
10\% of its weight:
11 + 3 +0 +0 = 14

ACA Suggestion proportion of children
= ( (14)/(21)) * 100 = 66.67\%

Fifth degree:

Over
10\% of body weight:
4 + 7 + 1 + 2 + 1 = 15

ACA Suggestion for children
= ((15)/(22)) * 100 = 68.18\%

ACA suggestion doesn't quite follow either majority for third and fifth grades: fifth grades (68.18%) are marginally hyper-third grades (66.67%).
