Question

the size of the left upper chamber of the heart is one measure of cardiovascular health. when the upper left chamber is enlarged, the risk of heart problems is increased. the paper “left a trial size increases with body mass index in children” described a study in which left atrial size was measured for a large number of children age 5 to 15 years. based on this data, the authors conclude that for healthy children, left atrial diameter was approximately normally distributed with a mean of 28.4 mm and a standard deviation of 3.5 mm. for healthy children, what is the value for which only about 12% have smaller atrial diameter?

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.
