1. In pharmacologic research a variety of clinical chemistry measurements are routinely monitored closely for evidence of side effects of the medication under study. Suppose typical blood glucose levels are normally distributed with mean 90 mg/dL and standard deviation 38 mg/dL.
1a. If the normal range is 65-120 mg/dL, that what percentage of values will fall into the normal range?
1b. In some studies only values that are at least 1.5 times as high as the upper limit of normal are identified as abnormal. What percentage of values would fall in this range?
1c. What is the probability that two people will have a test of 1.5 times as high as the upper limit of normal? (Assume the tests are indpendent)
1d. What blood glucose levels separate the lower and upper 5% of blood glucose values? (round your answer to the nearest tenth) ,
