After reading the paragraph below, answer the questions that follow.
In a study of patients seeking assisted reproductive technology, researchers examined the level of FSH in each patient as well as the average number of oocytes they were able to retrieve. Here is an approximation of the data.
| | Younger than 33 | Older than 33 but younger than 37 | Older than 38 but younger than 41 | Older than 41 |
| FSH levels | baseline = 100% | 112% | 117% | 122% |
| Oocytes retrieved | 8.8 | 7.5 | 4.7 | 3.2 |

Based on these data what levels of FSH and oocytes retrieved would you predict for a woman who is postmenopausal?
◦ no FSH and many oocytes
◦ 150% FSH and 5 oocytes
◦ varying levels of FSH possible but no oocytes
