There is variation both in the actual glucose level and in the blood test that measures the level. A patient is classified as having gestational diabetes if the glucose level is above 140 milligrams per deciliter (mg/dl) one hour after a sugary drink. Shelia's measured glucose level one hour after the sugary drink varies according to the Normal distribution with = 125 mg/dl and o= 11 mg/dl. a. If a single glucose measurement is made, what is the probability that Shelia is diagnosed as having gestational diabetes? b.
