Too much cholesterol in the blood increases the risk of heart disease. The cholesterol levels of young women aged 20 to 34 vary approximately Normally with mean 185 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) and standard deviation 39 mg/dl. 1. About what percent of young women in this age group will have cholesterol levels less than 150 mg/dl? 2. About what percent of young women in this age group will have cholesterol levels between 170 to 200 mg/dl? 3. About what percent of young women in this age group will have cholesterol levels greater than 190 mg/dl?

Follow the 68-95-99.7 Rule in this question. The cholesterol levels for women aged 20 to 34 follow an approximately normal distribution with a mean of 185 mg/dl. It is known that about 16% of women aged 20 to 34 have cholesterol levels that are lower than 150 mg/dl. What is the standard deviation of the cholesterol levels of women aged 20 to 34? Levels above 290 mg/dl demand medical attention. What percent of women aged 20 to 34 have cholesterol levels above 290 mg/dl? Cholesterol levels of 3 randomly selected young women (aged 20-34) are measured. What is the probability that none of them have cholesterol levels above 220 mg/dl? Assume the women selected are unrelated and independent of each other.
