Question

hrowback question: In pharmacologic research a variety of clinical chemistry measurements are routinely monitored closely for evidence of side effects of the medication under study. Suppose typical blood-glucose levels are normally distributed with mean 98.81 mg/dl and standard deviation 21.42 mg/dl. (Note: Round all of your answers to four decimal places where appropriate.)

1. We would expect the blood glucose levels to fall between  and  in 99.7% of patients.
2. A normal glucose range is 65 - 120 mg/dl. What is the probability a patient's blood glucose level falls between these two values?
   • z1 =
   • z2 =
   • probability =
3. What is the probability that a patient's blood glucose level is greater than 40 mg/dl?
   • z =
   • probability =
4. If a blood glucose level is in the top 2%, then the patient is classified as abnormal. What blood glucose level corresponds to this cut-off?
   • z =
   • glucose =  mg/dl
