Question

6.33 White Blood Cells The distribution of white blood cell 
counts per cubic millimeter of whole blood is approximately 
Normal with mean 7500 and standard deviation 1750 for healthy 
patients. Use technology or a table to answer these questions. For 
each include an appropriately labeled and shaded Normal curve.

a.  What is the probability that a randomly selected person will have a 
white blood cell count between 6000 and 10,000?
b.  An elevated white blood cell count can be a sign of infection some-where in the body. A white blood cell count can be considered elevated 
if it is over 10,500. What percentage of people have white blood cell 
counts in this elevated range?
c.  A white blood cell count below 4500 is considered low. People in this 
range may be referred for additional medical testing. What is the prob-ability that a randomly selected person has a white blood cell count 
below 4500?
