Healthy females have a mean red blood cell count of 4.8 million cells per microliter of whole blood with a standard deviation of 0.3 million cells per microliter and a mean white blood cell count of 7250 cells per microliter of whole blood with a standard deviation of 1375 cells per microliter. A female patient is given a blood test. Her red blood cell count (RBC) was found to be 4.3 million cells per microliter while her white blood cell count (WBC) was found to be 6100 cells per microliter. (a) Relatively speaking, does this patient have a lower red blood cell count or white blood cell count? (b) Classify as to the type of data and determine the level of measurement for the particular data item : blood cell type (red or white).
