Umbilical cord blood analysis immediately after delivery is one way to measure the health of an infant after birth. Researchers G. Natalucci et al. used it as a predictor of brain maturation of preterm infants in the article "Functional Brain Maturation Assessed During Early Life Correlates with Anatomical Brain Maturation at Term-Equivalent Age in Preterm Infants" (Pediatric Research, Vol. 74. No. 1, pp. 68-74). Based on this study, we will assume that, for preterm infants, the pH level of the arterial cord (one vessel in the umbilical cord) is normally distributed with mean 7.32 and standard deviation 0.1. Find the percentage of preterm infants who have arterial cord pH levels
a. Between 7.0 and 7.5.
b. Over 7.4. |
