Question

The mean serum cholesterol level for U.S. adults was 198, with a standard deviation of 39.3 (the units are milligrams per deciliter). A simple random sample of 106 adults is chosen. Use Cumulative Normal Distribution Table if needed. Round the answers to at least four decimal places

(a) What is the probability that the sample mean cholesterol level is greater than 205?

(b) What is the probability that the sample mean cholesterol level is between 186 and 192?

(c )Would it be unusual for the sample mean to be less than 194?

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
