A patient is classified as having gestational diabetes if her glucose level is greater than 140 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) one hour after ingesting a sugary drink. Grace's measured glucose level one hour after the sugary drink varies according to the Normal distribution with $ \mu = 135 \, \text{mg/dl} $ and $ \sigma = 10 \, \text{mg/dl} $.If a single glucose measurement is made, what is the probability that Grace is diagnosed with gestational diabetes?- a. 0.832 - b. 0.168 - c. 0.309 - d. 0.691

The average income of a graduate from the University of Eastern West Virginia is $50,000 per year, with a standard deviation of $2,500. Showing all work, approximate the probability that a graduate will have an income between $45,000 and $55,000 per year.
Total plasma volume is important in determining the required plasma component in blood replacement therapy for a person undergoing surgery. Plasma volume is influenced by the overall health and physical activity of an individual. Suppose that a random sample of 50 male firefighters are tested and that they have a plasma volume sample mean of x = 37.5 ml/kg (milliliters plasma per kilogram body weight). Assume that ? = 7.20 ml/kg for the distribution of blood plasma.

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 μ = 86 and standard deviation o = 23. 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.

A person's blood glucose level and diabetes are closely related. Let x be a random variable measured in milligrams of glucose per deciliter of blood. After a 12-hour fast, the random variable x will have a distribution that is approximately normal with μ = 85 and σ = 25. After 50 years of age, both the mean and standard deviation tend to increase.
