In addition, some diabetes researchers have observed that growth rate of weight during adolescence among diabetic patients is affected by level of compliance with insulin therapy. Suppose 12-year-old type-I diabetic boys who comply with their insulin shots have a weight gain over 1 year that is
Conversely, 12-year-old type-I diabetic boys who do not take their insulin shots have a weight gain over 1 year that is normally distributed with mean = 8 lbs. and variance = 12 lbs.
