The following distribution is for two populations (A and B) that have normal distributions for cholesterol. with known standard deviations and based on sample size 20. The shaded area in the given distribution is 0.475. If a sample (n=20) was taken from each population what is the probability that sample A is at least 9 units higher than that of sample B.

A person's blood glucose level and diabetes are closely related. Let x be a random variable measured in milligrams of glucose per deciliter of blood. After a 12-hour fast, the random variable x will have a distribution that is approximately normal with μ = 85 and σ = 25. After 50 years of age, both the mean and standard deviation tend to increase. What is the probability that, for an adult under 50 years old, after a 12-hour fast, x is less than 130?
Suppose that the average number of hurricanes is 32 per year with a standard deviation of 2.8 and follow a normal distribution. What is the probability that we will have more than 31 hurricanes this year in a decimal form?
The weights of 1,000 men in a certain town follow a normal distribution with a mean of 150 pounds and a standard deviation of 15 pounds. From the data, we can conclude that the number of men weighing more than 165 pounds is about , and the number of men weighing less than 135 pounds is about .
Suppose the weight of watermelons produced in Adana follows the normal distribution with mean 7.2 kg and standard deviation 2.4. Find the proportion of these watermelons that weight heavier than 7.5kg. If we randomly select one of these watermelons, find the probability that its weight will be less than 7kg.
The mean total cholesterol for a population of men between the ages of 20 and 29 is 180 micrograms per decilitre with a standard deviation of 37.4. A healthy total cholesterol level is less than 200, 200-240 is border line, and above 240 is dangerous. Assume the distribution is approximately Normal. For a randomly selected man from this group, what is the probability that his total cholesterol level is i. 200 or more? 1i. Between 200 and 240?
The percent of fat calories that a person consumes each day is normally distributed with a mean of about 35 and a standard deviation of about ten. Suppose that 9 individuals are randomly chosen. Let X = average percent of fat calories. For the group of 9, find the probability that the average percent of fat calories consumed is more than six. (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
The average amount of money spent for lunch per person in the college cafeteria is $5.99 and the standard deviation is $2.1. Suppose that 49 randomly selected lunch patrons are observed. Assume the distribution of money spent is normal, and round all answers to 4 decimal places where possible. For the group of 49 patrons, find the probability that the average lunch cost is between $5.77 and $6.08.
The blood sugar levels of a person follows a normal curve with an average of 4.7mmol/L and a standard deviation of 1.4. In 2014, it is estimated that 8.5% of people around the world have diabetes. For the following questions: 1. Indicate whether the distribution to be used in answering the problem is a normal distribution 2. If yes, solve for the probability a. The probability of getting a random person with a high blood sugar level greater than 7mmol/L. b. The probability of getting a random sample of 150 people with less than 10% having diabetes c. The probability of getting a random sample of 60 people with less than 9% having diabetes d. The probability of getting a random sample of 150 people with a mean blood sugar level less than 5mmol/L. e. The probability of getting a random sample of 25 people with a mean of blood sugar level greater than 4.5mmol/L.

The percent of fat calories that a person in a city consumes daily is normally distributed with a mean of about 36 and a standard deviation of 10. Suppose that 16 individuals are randomly chosen. Find the probability that the average percent of fat calories consumed in this group of 16 is less than 40.
A person's blood glucose level and diabetes are closely related. Let x be a random variable measured in milligrams of glucose per deciliter of blood. After a 12-hour fast, the random variable x will have a distribution that is approximately normal with μ = 85 and σ = 25. After 50 years of age, both the mean and standard deviation tend to increase. What is the probability that, for an adult under 50 years old, after a 12-hour fast, x is more than 60?
* Your answer is incorrect. Service time for a customer coming through a checkout counter in a retail store is a random variable with the mean of 3.5 minutes and standard deviation of 3.5 minutes. Suppose that the distribution of service time is fairly close to a normal distribution. Suppose there are two counters in a store, n₁ = 2 customers in the first line and n₂ = 13 customers in the second line. Find the probability that the difference between the mean service time for the shorter line X₁ and the mean service time for the longer one X₂ is more than 0.1 minutes. Assume that the service times for each customer can be regarded as independent random variables. Round your answer to two decimal places (e.g. 98.76). P = i 98.80
