QUESTION 11 Cholesterol. The American Heart Association reports that a total cholesterol score of 240 or higher represents high risk of heart disease. A study of postmenopausal women reported a mean of 220 and standard deviation of 40. If the total cholesterol scores have a normal distribution, what proportion of the women fall in the high-risk category (e.g. cholesterol score of 240 or higher)? (4 points) Hint: you should draw a normal distribution curve and figure out what Z score corresponds to 240 or higher to answer this question.
