2. For patients with a certain disease the amount of certain protein in the blood is nor- mally distributed with a mean of 180 and a standard deviation of 8.5. For patients without the disease the amount of that protein is normally distributed with a mean of 150 and a standard deviation of 7.5. (a) Where would you want the "Tested Positive" to start so that the probability of a person with the disease will not test positive is .0025? (2-decimal places) (b) Determine the probability of a false positive. (4 decimal places)
