Question

Let x = red blood cell (RBC) count in millions per cubic millimeter of whole blood. For healthy females, x has an approximately normal distribution with mean ? = 5.6 and standard deviation ? = 0.4.

(g) If a female had an RBC count of 5.9 or higher, would that be considered unusually high? Explain using z values.

A. Yes. A z score of 0.75 implies that this RBC is unusually high.
B. No. A z score of −0.75 implies that this RBC is unusually low.    
C. No. A z score of 0.75 implies that this RBC is normal.
Let x = red blood cell (RBC) count in millions per cubic millimeter of whole blood. For healthy females, x has an approximately normal distribution with mean u = 5.6 and standard deviation o = 0.4.
The Standard Normal Distribution
(u = 0, o = 1)
