Suppose a population has a standard deviation of 10. Assume that we continue to select groups of 100 individuals from the population and calculate the sample means. The variation among all these sample means is measured by o/v(n). Compare the distribution of single observations (x) with that of the means x. (That is, compare the histograms of x and x.) We can conclude that the distribution of x is spread out. In other words, averages vary much than individual observations. less; less less; more more; less more; more

A person's blood glucose level and diabetes are closely related. Let x be a random variable measured in milligrams of glucose per deciliter (1/10 of a liter) of blood.

Note: After 50 years of age, both the mean and standard deviation tend to increase. For an adult (under 50) after a 12-hour fast, find the following probabilities. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) x is more than 60(b) x is less than 110(c) x is between 60 and 110(d) x is greater than 140 (borderline diabetes starts at 140)
