Question

Flavonoids found in green, black, or white tea may reduce the risk of heart disease by decreasing low-density lipoproteins, also known as LDL or bad cholesterol. A health psychologist is interested in helping her patients with bad cholesterol make good lifestyle choices. Low-density lipoprotein levels follow a normal distribution with 100 and ? 32. Use the Distributions tool to help answer the questions that follow. Note: To find the probability above or below a z-score, click on the normal curve icon with one line, and position the line at the appropriate z-score on the horizontal axis. The areas under the standard normal curve above and below the z-score will be displayed to the left and right of the vertical line, respectively. To find the probability between two z-scores, click on the normal curve icon with two lines, and position the left line at the lower z-score and the right line at the higher z-score. The area under the normal curve between the vertical lines will be displayed in blue Standard Normal Distribution Mean-0.o Standard Deviation-1.0 -2 -1 2

Explanation / Answer

1)the minimum z score necessary.,.........is z =1.645

2)X =100+1.645*32 =152.64

3)P(130<X<159)=P((130-100)/32<Z<(159-100)/32)=P(0.94<Z<1.84)=0.9671-0.8264=0.1407 ~14.07% is correct option

4)

P(X<100)=P(Z<0) =50%
