A person's blood glucose level and diabetes are closely related. Let x be a random variable measured in milligrams of glucose per deciliter (1/10 of a liter) of blood. Suppose that after a 12-hour fast, the random variable x will have a distribution that is approximately normal with mean ? = 82 and standard deviation ? = 22. Note: After 50 years of age, both the mean and standard deviation tend to increase. For an adult (under 50) after a 12-hour fast, find the following probabilities. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) x is more than 60(b) x is less than 110(c) x is between 60 and 110(d) x is greater than 125 (borderline diabetes starts at 125)
An HP laser printer is advertised to print text documents at a speed of 18 ppm (pages per minute). The manufacturer tells you that the printing speed is actually a Normal random variable with a mean of 17.57 ppm and a standard deviation of 3 ppm. Suppose that you draw a random sample of 11 printers. Part i) Suppose the number of printers drawn is quadrupled. How will the standard deviation of sample mean printing speed change? O A. It will decrease by a factor of 4. OB. It will increase by a factor of 4. O C. It will increase by a factor of 2. O D. It will decrease by a factor of 2. OE. It will remain unchanged.
