Measuring bone density Individuals with low bone density have a high risk of broken bones (fractures). Physicians who are concerned about low bone density (osteoporosis) in patients can refer them for specialized testing. Currently, the most common method for testing bone density is dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). A patient who undergoes a DEXA test usually gets bone density results in grams per square centimeter(g/cm2)and in standardized units. Judy, who is 25years old, has her bone density measured using DEXA. Her results indicate a bone density in the hip948g/cm2and a standardized score ofz=鈭�1.45. In the reference population of For 25-year-old women like Judy, the mean bone density in the hip is 956g/cm2

(a) Judy has not taken a statistics class in a few years. Explain to her in simple language what the standardized score tells her about her bone density.

(b) Use the information provided to calculate the standard deviation of bone density in the reference population.

Use Table A in the back of the book to find the proportion of observations from a standard Normal distribution that fall in each of the following regions. In each case, sketch a standard Normal curve and shade the area representing the region.

R2.9 low-birth-weight babies Researchers in Norway analyzed data on the birth weights of 400,000 newborns over a 6-year period. The distribution of birth weights is Normal with a mean of 3668 grams and a standard deviation of 511 grams. 17 Babies that weigh less than 2500 grams at birth are classified as "low birth weight."

(a) What percent of babies will be identified as having low birth weight? Show your work.

(b) Find the quartiles of the birth weight distribution. Show your work.
