Question

Atherosclerosis, the hardening of arteries that can impair blood flow to the heart, brain, kidneys, and other organs, is increased by high levels of blood cholesterol. This, among other things, raises the risk of heart attack, stroke, and kidney failure. Adult males of a certain racial group's cholesterol levels are roughly regularly distributed, with a mean of 4.8 mmol/L and a standard deviation of 0.6 mmol/L. 

a. If a man's cholesterol level exceeds 5.75 mmol/L, he is at high risk.
What are the probabilities of being in a high-risk situation?

b.Meanwhile, if an adult male's cholesterol level is 1 standard deviation or more below the mean, he is at minimal risk. What proportion of adult males are considered to be at minimal risk?
