Get started for freeCollege-Math Success. Researchers S. Lesik and M. Mitchell explore the difficulty of predicting success in college-level mathematics in the article "The Investigation of Multiple Paths to Success in College-Level Mathematics" (fraternal of Applied Reacuwh in Hreher Eiturarion, Vol. 5. Issue 1. pP, 48-57). One of the variables explored as an indicator of success was the length of time since a college freshman has taken a mathematics course. The article reports that the mean length of time is 0.18 years with a standard deviation of 0.624 years. For college freshmen, let x represent the time, in years, since taking a math course.
A . What percentage of times are at least 0 years?
b. Assuming that x is approximately normally distributed, tose normal curve areas to determine the approximate percentage of times that are at least 0 years.
c. Based on your results from parts (a) and (b), do you think that the length of time since taking a math course for college freshmen is approximately a normally distributed variable? Explain your answer.
The area under a density curve that lies between 5 and 6 is . What percentage of all possible observations of the variable are cither less than 5 or greater than 6 ?
In each part, find the area under the standard normal curve that lies between the specified -scores, sketch a standard normal curve and shade the area of interest.
a. and
b. and
c. and

27. Lower Limb Surgery. The study "Intrathecal Sufentanil versus Fentanyl for Lower Limb Surgeries - A Randomized Controlled Trial" (Journal of Anesthesiology Clinical Pharmacology, Vol. 27 . Issue 1. pp. 67-73) by P. Motiani et al. compares two different agents, intrathecal Sufentanil and fentanyl, used in enhancing the anesthesiology of patients receiving major lower limb surgery. One variable compared between the two agents was the amount of blood loss during the surgery. Based on the study, we will assume that using fentanyl, the amount of blood loss during major lower limb surgery is normally distributed with mean and standard deviation . Find the percentage of patients whose amount of blood loss during major lower limb surgery using fentanyl is
a. Less than .
b. Between and
c. More than
