Chapter 2: Q.70 (page 135)

The weights of laboratory cockroaches follow a Normal distribution with mean 80grams and standard deviation 2grams. The figure below is the Normal curve for this distribution of weights.

Point C on this Normal curve corresponds to

(a) 84grams.

(c) 78grams.

(e) 74grams

(b) 82grams.

(d) 76grams.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The correct answer is Option (C)78grams.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

Normal distribution with mean =80

Standard deviation =2grams

02

Explanation

The standard deviation 蟽for pointCis one standard deviation below the mean.

(渭):

渭=80grams

蟽=2grams

80-2=78grams

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.
