Let x denote the time (in minutes) that it takes a
fifth-grade student to read a certain passage. Suppose that the
mean value and standard deviation of x are μ = 4
minutes and σ = 0.7 minutes, respectively.
(a)
If
x
is the sample mean time for a random sample of n = 9
students, where is the
x
distribution centered, and how much does it spread out around
the center (as described by its standard deviation)? (Round your...

(8) Let x be a random variable that represents the
level of glucose in the blood (milligrams per deciliter of blood)
after a 12 hour fast. Assume that for people under 50 years old,
x has a distribution that is approximately normal, with
mean μ = 54 and estimated standard deviation σ =
11. A test result x < 40 is an indication of severe
excess insulin, and medication is usually prescribed.
