The following situation pertains to questions 16-20. A study was done to see whether regular exercise can help lower cholesterol. The subjects were 1000 adults with high cholesterol. Half the subjects were randomly assigned to treatment and half were randomly to control. In the treatment group, the subjects were offered the usual health care plus given full access to a gym and a personal trainer and encouraged to exercise on a treadmill for 30 minutes 4 times a week.
