Question:

A certain assay for serum alanine aminotransferase (ALT) is rather imprecise. The results of repeated assays of a single specimen follow a normal with mean equal to the true ALT concentration for that specimen and standard deviation equal to 4 U/l (see Example 2.2.12). Suppose that a certain hospital lab measures many specimens every day, performing one assay for each specimen, and that specimens with ALT readings of 40 U/l or more are flagged as "unusually high." If a patient's true ALT concentration is 35 U/l, what is the probability that his specimen will be flagged as "unusually high"?
Distribution
The word "distribution" has several meanings in the financial world, most of them pertaining to the payment of assets from a fund, account, or individual security to an investor or beneficiary. Retirement account distributions are among the most...
