In: Statistics and Probability
Watch your cholesterol: The mean serum cholesterol level for U.S.
adults was 204, with a standard deviation of 42.5
(the units are milligrams per deciliter). A simple random sample of
112 adults is chosen. Use the TI-84 calculator.
Round the answers to four decimal places.
Part 1 of 3
What is the probability that the sample mean cholesterol level is
greater than 212?
The probability that the sample mean cholesterol level is greater
than 212 is?
Part 2 of 3
What is the probability that the sample mean cholesterol level is
between 192 and 202?
The probability that the sample mean cholesterol level is between
192 and 202 is?
Part 3 of 3
Would it be unusual for the sample mean to be less than 197?
It (would/wouldnt) be unusual for the sample mean to be less than
197, since the probability is?
Refer Standard normal table/Z-table to find the probability or use excel formula "=NORM.S.DIST(1.9921, TRUE)" to find the probability.
The probability that the sample mean cholesterol level is greater than 212 is
