Question

Let x = red blood cell (RBC) count in millions per cubic millimeter of whole blood. For healthy females, x has an approximately normal distribution with mean ? = 3.1 and standard deviation ? = 0.4.

### Understanding Red Blood Cell Count Distribution

For healthy females, the red blood cell (RBC) count \( x \) in millions per cubic milliliter of whole blood follows an approximately normal distribution with:
- Mean (\(\mu\)) = 3.1 
- Standard deviation (\(\sigma\)) = 0.4

### Standard Normal Distribution

Below is a diagram representing the standard normal distribution (\( \mu = 0, \sigma = 1 \)):

![Standard Normal Distribution](https://example.com/standard-normal-distribution.jpg)

In the diagram, the normal distribution is shown with sections representing:
- 68% of the area under the curve within \( -1 \le z \le 1 \)
- 95% of the area within \( -2 \le z \le 2 \)
- 99.7% of the area within \( -3 \le z \le 3 \)

### Exercises in Converting between \( x \) and \( z \) Intervals

**(a)** Convert the \( x \) interval, \( 4.5 < x \), to a \( z \) interval. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

\[ \boxed{} < z \]

**(b)** Convert the \( x \) interval, \( x < 4.2 \), to a \( z \) interval. (Round your answer to two decimal places.)

\[ z < \boxed{} \]

**(c)** Convert the \( x \) interval, \( 4.0 < x < 5.5 \), to a \( z \) interval. (Round your answers to two decimal places.)

\[ \boxed{} < z < \boxed{} \]

**(d)** Convert the \( z \) interval, \( z < -1.44 \), to an \( x \) interval. (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

\[ x < \boxed{} \]

**(e)** Convert the \( z \) interval, \( 1.28 < z \), to an \( x \) interval. (Round your answer to one decimal place.)

\[ \boxed{} < x \]

**(f)** Convert the \( z \) interval, \( -2.25 < z < -1.00 \), to an \( x \) interval. (Round your answers to one decimal place.)

\[ \boxed{} < x <
