Answer:

about 75.8 mg/dl

Explanation:

You want to know the level below which lies 0.15% of the population if the mean is 150 mg/dl and the standard deviation is 25 mg/dl.

Inverse Normal

The inverse normal function can be used to find the value corresponding to an area of 0.15% under the normal curve. A calculator shows that threshold to be about 75.8 mg/dl.

About 0.15% of boys have a cholesterol level less than 75.8 mg/dl.
