The time spent (in days) waiting for a heart transplant for people ages 35-49 in a recent year follows a normal distribution with a mean wait time of 204 days and standard deviation 25.7 days. What is the probability that the heart transplant wait time for a person selected at random will be between 180 and 210 day?
Added by Samantha B.
Step 1
Z-score for 180: \(\frac{180 - 204}{25.7} = -0.93\) Z-score for 210: \(\frac{210 - 204}{25.7} = 0.23\) Show more…

The time spent (in days) waiting for a heart transplant for people ages 35-49 in a recent year follows a normal distribution with a mean wait time of 204 days and standard deviation 25.7 days. The 8% of people who wait the longest for a heart transplant wait more than how any days? 240.237 167.763 168.020 239.98

U.S. Organ Transplants As of June $2015,81.4 \%$ of patients were waiting on a kidney, $11.7 \%$ were waiting on a liver, and $3.1 \%$ were waiting on a heart. Choose 6 patients on the transplant waiting list at random in 2015. Find the probability that $$ \begin{array}{l}{\text { a. All were waiting for a kidney. }} \\ {\text { b. None were waiting for a kidney. }} \\ {\text { c. At least } 1 \text { was waiting for a kidney }}\end{array} $$
