Hello Everyone,
I have a statistical question for you. For a sample of patient body
weights I have the following information:
n=546
Mean=81.8
Standard deviation=18.7
Median=79
Max=147
Min=43
What I need to estimate is the proportion of patients who would be less
than 60kg? Is this technically possible using the limited summary
statistics that I have? Also to note, I do not have access to any
statistical software, I only the use of excel if computation is required
to work out the solution.
Thank you very much for your help,
Julie-Ann
