Question

Assume that in a given group of men between the age of 20 and 30, cholesterol levels are normally distributed. The mean is 178.1, and the standard deviation is 40.7. What percentage of men in this age range have a cholesterol level less than 239.15?

Give your answer to the nearest hundredth of a percent. Example: 0.0125 would be 1.25%.

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
