A persons blood glucose level and diabetes are closely related. Let x be a random variable measured in milligrams of glucose per deciliter (1/10 of a liter) of blood Suppose that after a 12 hour fast the random variable x will have a distribution that is approximately normal with mean of 84 and standard deviation of 27

Diabetes is closely related to a person's level of blood glucose, measured in milligrams of glucose per deciliter (1/10 of a liter) of blood. Let x be a random variable that represents the 12-hour fast blood glucose level. This distribution is approximately normal with mean = 86 and standard deviation = 23. (Note: Blood glucose levels tend to increase after the age of 50, so the mean and standard deviation also change.) Find the probability that a randomly selected person under the age of 50 has a 12-hour fast blood glucose level x > 63.

A person's blood glucose level and diabetes are closely related. Let x be a random variable measured in milligrams of glucose per deciliter (1/10 of a liter) of blood. Suppose that after a 12-hour fast, the random variable x will have a distribution that is approximately normal with mean μ = 90 and standard deviation σ = 27. Note: After 50 years of age, both the mean and standard deviation tend to increase. For an adult (under 50) after a 12-hour fast, find the following probabilities. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) x is more than 60 (b) x is less than 110 (c) x is between 60 and 110 (d) x is greater than 140 (borderline diabetes starts at 140)

A person's blood glucose level and diabetes are closely related. Let x be a random variable measured in milligrams of glucose per deciliter (1/10 of a liter) of blood. Suppose that after a 12-hour fast, the random variable x will have a distribution that is approximately normal with mean ? = 82 and standard deviation ? = 27. Note: After 50 years of age, both the mean and standard deviation tend to increase. For an adult (under 50) after a 12-hour fast, find the following probabilities. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) x is more than 60 (b) x is less than 110 (c) x is between 60 and 110 (d) x is greater than 125 (borderline diabetes starts at 125)
