Extracted text: According to the Heart and Stroke Foundation of Canada, in a recent year 17.6% of Canadians between the ages of 65 and 79 report having heart disease or stroke. Suppose you live in a province where the environment is conducive to good health and low stress and you believe these conditions promote healthy hearts. To investigate this theory, you conduct a random telephone survey of 18 persons 65 to 79 years of age in your province. а. On the basis of the figure from the Heart and Stroke Foundation, what is the expected number of people 65 to 79 years of age in your survey who have heart disease or stroke? (Round your answer to 2 decimal places, e.g. 1.75.)
