Answer:

  • <em>About 34% of women will have levels between:</em>

<em>                                                             </em><u><em>     171 mg/dl and 207 mg/dl          </em></u>

Explanation:

You might find several intervals of <em>cholesterol levels</em> that contain about 34% of the women.

The easiest way is to find a symmetric interval. This is, with the same number of women below and above the mean.

Then, if <em>34% of the women</em> are within the interval, 100% - 34% = 66% are out of the interval.

For a symmetric interval, half of 66% would be above the median and half-below the median.

Thus, 33% above and 33% below the median.

Now, you can look up the Z-score in a standard normal distribution table.

There are two types of standard distribution tables: tables that show values that represent the AREA to the LEFT of the Z-score, and tables that show values that represent the AREA to the RIGHT of the Z-score.

Using the second, find the Z-score for a probability of 33%, i.e. 0.33, it is Z-score = 0.44.

That means that the interval must be - 0.44 < Z-score < 0.44

Now that you have the Z-score you can find the cholesterol levels:

For the upper level:

              Z-score=\frac{\text{cholesterol level-mean}}{\text{standard deviation}}

              Z-score=\frac{x-189}{40}

              0.44=\frac{x-189}{40}

               x=0.44\times 40+189=206.6

For the lower level:

            -0.44=\frac{x-189}{40}

              x=-0.44\times 40+189=171.4

Rounding to whole numbers the interval would be between 171 mg/dl and 207 mg/dl.

RSB [31]
I’m not sure what pro-life argument to add. Science suggests that fetuses don’t feel pain until the 6th month. They’re not aware that they’re alive. They have neurotransmitters or spinal fluids, their spine is barely developed until then, which is why most abortions aren’t done after that period. Roe vs Wade act is a human right. Other than that, the only excuses you could make for being pro-life is religion, but that isn’t fact so only use that in your writing if it’s a biased report.
