In a test to screen for gestational diabetes, a patient is classified as needing further testing if the glucose level is above 130 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dL) one hour after consuming a sugary drink. Shelia’s measured glucose level follows a normal distribution with a mean (μ) of 122 mg/dL and a standard deviation (σ) of 12 mg/dL.

(a) If a single glucose measurement is made, what is the probability that Shelia is diagnosed as needing further testing for gestational diabetes?

(b) If measurements are made on four separate days and the mean result is compared with the criterion of 130 mg/dL, what is the probability that Shelia is diagnosed as needing further testing for gestational diabetes?

Expert Solution
Step 1

Let X denote the Glucose level 

Then    X~N(122, 122)

According to the given information, further testing is needed if the glucose level is greater than 130.

Part 1: Required probability is

                P(X130)=PX-μσ130-μσ               = PZ130-12212               = P(Z0.67)               = 1 - P(Z0.67)               = 1 - 0.75               = 0.25
