1.Porphyrin is a pigment in blood protoplasm and other body fluids that is significant in body energy and storage. Let x be a random variable that represents the number of milligrams of porphyrin per deciliter of blood. In healthy circles, x is approximately normally distributed with mean = 43 and standard deviation = 11. Find the following probabilities. (Round your answers to four decimal places.) (a) x is less than 60

(b) x is greater than 16

(c) x is between 16 and 60

(d) x is more than 60 (This may indicate an infection, anemia, or another type of illness.)

2. A person's blood glucose level and diabetes are closely related. Let x be a random variable measured in milligrams of glucose per deciliter (1/10 of a liter) of blood. Suppose that after a 12-hour fast, the random variable x will have a distribution that is approximately normal with mean = 81 and standard deviation = 22. Note: After 50 years of age, both the mean and standard deviation tend to increase. For an adult (under 50) after a 12-hour fast, find the following probabilities. (Round your answers to four decimal places.)

(a) x is more than 60

(b) x is less than 110

(c) x is between 60 and 110

(d) x is greater than 125 (borderline diabetes starts at 125)
