Suppose X is a non-standard normal variable, with a mean of 139, and std deviation of 15 (i.e. X~N(139,15)). You have an observation (z) on a standard normal scale (i.e. Z~N(0,1)). If z = 1.29, what is it on an X scale? How can I calculate this using excel & by hand?

The nicotine content in cigarettes of a certain brand is normally distributed with mean (in milligrams) u and standard deviation o = 0.1. The brand advertises that the mean nicotine content of their cigarettes is 1.5 mg. Now, suppose a reporter wants to test whether the mean nicotine content is actually higher than advertised. He takes measurements from a SRS of 15 cigarettes of this brand. The sample yields an average of 1.6 mg of nicotine. Conduct a test using a significance level of a = 0.05. (a) The standardized test statistic (b) The critical value (endpoint of Rejection Region) is z* = (c) The final conclusion is OA. The nicotine content is probably higher than advertised. B. There is not sufficient evidence to show that the ad is misleading.
Assume blood-glucose levels in a population of adult women are approximately normally distributed with mean 90 mg/dL and standard deviation 13 mg/dL. - Suppose the "abnormal range" were defined to be glucose levels outside of 1 standard deviation of the mean (i.e., either at least 1 standard deviation above the mean, or at least 1 standard deviation below mean). What percentage of individuals would be called "abnormal" and need to be retested?
