The red blood cell counts (in millions of cells per microliter) for a population of adult males can be approximated by a normal distribution, with a mean of 5.3 million cells per microliter and a standard deviation of 0.5 million cells per microliter. (a) What is the minimum red blood cell count that can be in the top 25% of counts? (b) What is the maximum red blood cell count that can be in the bottom 15% of counts? (a) The minimum red blood cell count is _______ million cells per microliter. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Red Blood Cell Count The red blood cell counts (in millions of cells per microliter) for a population of adult males can be approximated by a normal distribution, with a mean of 5.4 million cells per microliter and a standard deviation of 0.4 million cells per microliter. (a) What is the minimum red blood cell count that can be in the top 25% of counts? (b) What is the maximum red blood cell count that can be in the bottom 15% of counts?

The red blood cell counts (in millions of cells per microliter) for a population of adult males can be approximated by a normal distribution, with a mean of 5.1 million cells per microliter and a standard deviation of 0.3 million cells per microliter. (a) What is the minimum red blood cell count that can be in the top 27% of counts? (b) What is the maximum red blood cell count that can be in the bottom 12% of counts? (a) The minimum red blood cell count is____ million cells per microliter. (Round to two decimal places as needed.)

A normal human red blood cell count is between 4.2 and 6.9 million cells per microliter ( $\mu$ L). A cancer patient undergoing chemotherapy has a red blood cell count of 2.85 million cells per microliter. How far below the lower normal limit is this?
