Question:
The distribution of white blood cell count per cubic millimeter of whole blood is approximately Normal with mean 7500 and standard deviation 1750 for healthy patients. Use technology or a table to answer these questions. For each include an appropriately labeled and shaded Normal curve.
a. What is the probability that a randomly selected person will have a white blood cell count between 6000 and 10,000?
b. An elevated white blood cell count can be a sign of infection somewhere in the body. A white blood cell count can be considered elevated if it is over 10,500. What percentage of people have white blood cell counts in this elevated range?
c. A white blood cell count below 4500 is considered low. People in this range may be referred for additional medical testing. What is the probability that a randomly selected person has a white blood cell count below 4500?
