Outlier Activity

What was the main idea of the chapter? What supporting details were given? What other ideas were offered? Is this fact or opinion or both? How do you know? 


The main idea of the chapter is about people dying of heart disease. The rate of death of Roseto was compared to the U.S. and it was half. 


The supporting details that were given were the people's medical history and they showed that people of Roseto mostly just died of old age.


Other ideas that were offered is that Wolf is an outlier. 


This is a fact because people in the U.S. don't eat healthy and they don't usually die from old age. They die from heart attacks and diseases. 


I know because Americans have the largest obesity rate in the world.
