Pulse rates of adult men are approximately normal with a mean of 70 and a standard deviation of 8. Using Standard Normal Table, which choice correctly describes how to find the proportion of men that have a pulse rate greater than 78?
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "Comment: 78 is one standard deviation to the right of the mean so its
\n" ); document.write( "z-score is z=1.
\n" ); document.write( "----------------------------------------
\n" ); document.write( "1.Find the area to the right of z =1 under a standard normal curve.
\n" ); document.write( "2.Find the area between z = -1 and z = 1 under a standard normal curve.
\n" ); document.write( "3.Find the area to the right of z = -1 under a standard normal curve.
\n" ); document.write( "4.Find the area to the left of z = 1 under a standard normal curve.
\n" ); document.write( "I did this: (78-70)/8=1
\n" ); document.write( "---
\n" ); document.write( "You did well.
\n" ); document.write( "----
\n" ); document.write( "so I think number 1 is the appropriate answer.
