24. Assume that the resting heart rate in humans is normally distributed with a population mean of 72 bpm and a standard deviation of 8 bpm.

a. What proportion of the population has resting heart rates between 70 and 82 bpm?

b. What proportion of the population has resting heart rates between 50 and 75 bpm?

c. What proportion of the population has resting heart rates between 60 and 70 bpm?

d. What proportion of the population has resting heart rates between 55 and 69 bpm?

24. A population of scores has a mean of 56. In this population, a raw score of 40 corresponds to a z score of -4. What is the population standard deviation?

25. A population of scores has a standard deviation of 5. In this population a raw score of 45 corresponds to a z score of 1.5. What is the population mean?

The heart rate of a healthy lion is approximately normally distributed with mean µ = 40...
The heart rate of a healthy lion is approximately normally distributed with mean µ = 40 beats per minutes. A heart rate that is too slow or too fast can indicate a health problem. A veterinarian has removed an abscessed tooth from a young healthy zoo lion. As the animal slowly starts to come out of the anesthetic, the heart rate is taken and recorded for half an hour (beats per minute): 30 37 43 38 35 36 Test the...
