Step 1: Anticipate your analysis

To construct a sound argument, one must anticipate the evidence needed to support a claim. In this assignment, you can choose between two claims:

Potential Claim 1: People between the ages of 20 and 44 years are more likely to have high cholesterol than people between the ages of 45 and 64 years.

Potential Claim 2: People between the ages of 45 and 64 years are more likely to have high cholesterol than people between the ages of 20 and 44 years.

In each of the three figures below, the y-axis represents the median concentration of cholesterol in the blood, with higher values indicating more cholesterol. The x-axis compares two categories of age: 20-44 years and 45-64 years.
