25. | Medical: Blood Glucose 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. After a 12-hour fast, the
random variable x will have a distribution that is approximately normal with
mean μ = 85 and standard deviation or = 25 (Source: Diagnostic Tests with
Nursing Implications, edited by S. Loeb, Springhouse Press). Note: After
50 years of age, both the mean and standard deviation tend to increase.
What is the probability that, for an adult (under 50 years old) after a
12-hour fast,
(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)?
