Let x be a random variable that represents the level of glucose in the blood (milligrams per deciliter of blood) after a 12 hour fast. Assume that for people under 50 years old, x has a distribution that is approximately normal, with mean u = 69 and estimated standard deviation o = 28. A test result x < 40 is an indication of severe excess insulin, and medication is usually prescribed. (a) What is the probability that, on a single test, x < 40? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (b) Suppose a doctor uses the average x for two tests taken about a week apart. What can we say about the probability distribution of x? Hint: See Theorem 6.1. O The probability distribution of x is approximately normal with u = 69 and o, = 14.00. O The probability distribution of x is approximately normal with u - 69 and o- 19.80. O The probability distribution of x is not normal. O The probability distribution of x is approximately normal with u, = 69 and o, = 28. What is the probability that x < 40? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (c) Repeat part (b) for n = 3 tests taken a week apart. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Suppose, household color TVs are replaced at an average age of μ = 9.0 years after purchase, and the (95% of data) range was from 5.8 to 12.2 years. Thus, the range was 12.2 − 5.8 = 6.4 years. Let x be the age (in years) at which a color TV is replaced. Assume that x has a distribution that is approximately normal. (a) The empirical rule indicates that for a symmetric and bell-shaped distribution, approximately 95% of the data lies within two standard deviations of the mean. Therefore, a 95% range of data values extending from μ − 2σ to μ + 2σ is often used for "commonly occurring" data values. Note that the interval from μ − 2σ to μ + 2σ is 4σ in length. This leads to a "rule of thumb" for estimating the standard deviation from a 95% range of data values. Estimating the standard deviationFor a symmetric, bell-shaped distribution, standard deviation ≈ range 4 ≈ high value − low value 4 where it is estimated that about 95% of the commonly occurring data…

The physical fitness of an athlete is often measured by how much oxygen the athlete takes in (which is recorded in milliliters per kilogram, ml/kg). The mean maximum oxygen uptake for elite athletes has been found to be 65 with a standard deviation of 10. Assume that the distribution is approximately normal. (a) What is the probability that an elite athlete has a maximum oxygen uptake of at least 50 ml/kg? answer: (b) What is the probability that an elite athlete has a maximum oxygen uptake of 60 ml/kg or lower? answer: (c) Consider someone with a maximum oxygen uptake of 31 ml/kg.
