OA: After a few replies.
The original explanation states that "A respondent who averaged less than one-half hour of exercise per day would have reported less than 3.5 hours of exercise for the week".
Shouldn't this be 10.5 hours for the week?
(Total Hours Spent Exercising in a Week)/(7 Days) = 1.5 Hours per day
Thus Total hours = 1.5 * 7 = 10.5[/spoiler]

Be careful, "one-half hour" and "one and a half hours" (1.5 hours) are not the same thing. If you exercise only ONE, half hour, then that is 1/2 hour or 0.5 hours.
Hope this helps!
