(b) Cholesterol levels for women aged 20 to 34 follow an approximately normal distribution with mean 185 milligrams per deciliter \((\mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{dl})\). Women with cholesterol levels above \(220 \mathrm{mg} / \mathrm{dl}\) are considered to have high cholesterol and about \(18.5 \%\) of women fall into this category.
