In a randomly selected sample of women ages 20–34, the mean total cholesterol level is 188 milligrams per deciliter with a stand

ard deviation of 41.3 milligrams per deciliter. Assume the total cholesterol levels are normally distributed. Find the highest total cholesterol level a woman in this 20–34 age group can have and still be in the bottom 1%. (Round your answers to two decimal places)

Answer:

z=-2.33

And if we solve for a we got

a=188 -2.33*41.3=91.771

The highest total cholesterol level a woman in this 20–34 age group can have and still be in the bottom 1% is 91.771 mg per deciliter

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X the random variable that represent the cholesterol level of a population of women between 20-34, and for this case we know the distribution for X is given by:

X \sim N(188,41.3)  

Where \mu=188 and \sigma=41.3

We want to find the highest value for the bottom 1% in the distribution, so we need to find a value a who satisfy the following conditions:

P(X>a)=0.99   (a)

P(X   (b)

We can find a z value that satisfy the condition with 0.01 of the area on the left and 0.99 of the area on the right it's z=-2.33. And we can verify that on this case P(Z<-2.33)=0.01 and P(z>-2.33)=0.099

If we use condition (b) from previous we have this:

P(X  

P(z

But we know which value of z satisfy the previous equation so then we can do this:

z=-2.33

And if we solve for a we got

a=188 -2.33*41.3=91.771

The highest total cholesterol level a woman in this 20–34 age group can have and still be in the bottom 1% is 91.771 mg per deciliter

Answer:

401

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Approach

To solve this problem, one first has to think about the given figure in a certain way. In the figure, one can see that it is a circle attached on either side of a rectangle. To find the perimeter of the figure, one has to find the circumference of the circle and then add two sides of the rectangle to the answer

2. Circumference of the circle

The formula to find the circumference of a circle is;

2r(pi) or d(pi)

~ diameter times the value (pi)

Normally to find the circumference of a semicircle, one would have to divide this formula by 2, but since in this case, one has to add two congruent semicircles, so therefore, the effect of dividing the equation by two, only to multiply by two again cancels, and hence, there is no need to divide by 2.

Substitute in the values;

(78)(pi)

~ 245

3. Find the perimeter of the entire object

Now, one has to add the two additional sides of the figure, to the circumferences of the semicircles to get the final answer;

78 + 78 + 245

= 401
