A health study reported that, in one country, systolic blood pressure readings have a mean of 120 and a standard deviation of 14. A reading above 140 is considered to be high blood pressure. Complete parts a through d below. a. What is the z-score for a blood pressure reading of 140?

A health study reported that, in one country, systolic blood pressure readings have a mean of 119 and a standard deviation of 15 . A reading above 140 is considered to be high blood pressure. Complete parts a through d below. a) What is thez-score for a blood pressure reading of130? b) If systolic blood pressure in that country has a normal distribution, what proportion of the population suffers from high blood pressure? c) What proportion of the population has...
A World Health Organization study (the MONICA project) of health in various countries reported that in Canada, systolic blood pressure readings have a mean of 123 and a standard deviation of 12. A reading above 149 is considered to be high blood pressure. (a) How many standard deviations away from the mean is a blood pressure reading of 149? z = (3 decimal places) (b) If systolic blood pressure in Canada is approximately normal, find the proportion of Canadians that...
Systolic blood pressure readings in the United States are normally distributed with a mean of 120 and standard deviation of 15. Find the percentage of Americans with systolic blood pressure readings above 95. a. 4.75% b. 95.25% c. 4.85% d. 95.15%
Assume that systolic blood pressure readings are normally distributed with mean 120 and standard deviation of 5.8. A researcher wishes to select people for a study but wants to exclude the top and bottom 12 percent. What would be the upper and lower readings to qualify people to participate in the study?
based on data compiled by the world health organization, the mean systolic blood pressure in the united states is 120, the standard deviation is 16 and the pressures are normally distributed. Find the percent of individuals who have blood pressure between 120-128.
Systolic blood pressure has a mean of 80 and a standard deviation of 8. a. What is the probability a person will have a reading between 75 and 85? What is the probability that the average reading of 9 people will be between those values? What reading would put you in the highest 10% of readings?
Loretta, who turns 91this year, has heard that the mean systolic blood pressure among the elderly is 120 millimeters of mercury (mmHg), but she believes that the actual value is higher. She bases her belief on a recently reported study of 22 randomly selected, elderly adults. The sample mean systolic blood pressure of the adults in the study was 131mmHg, and the sample standard deviation was 22 mmHg. Assume that the population of systolic blood pressures of elderly adults is...
When 14 different second-year medical students measured by the systolic blood pressure of the same person, they obtained the results listed below (in mmHg). Assuming that the population standard deviation is known to be 15 mmHg, use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that the mean blood pressure level is less than 140 mmHg. Hyper- tension is defined to be a blood pressure level that is too high because it is 140 mmHg or greater. Assume the blood...
From information on a previous question: The mean systolic blood pressure for a population of patients (µ) from a local clinic is 130 with a standard deviation (σ) of 18. What is the z-score for a patient with a systolic blood pressure of 126? Rounded to the nearest hundredth.
- Blood Pressure For women aged 18–24, systolic blood pressures (in mm Hg) are nor- mally distributed with a mean of 114.8 and a standard deviation of 13.1 (based on data from the National Health Survey). Hypertension is commonly defined as a sys- tolic blood pressure above 140. a. If a woman between the ages of 18 and 24 is randomly selected, find the probabil- ity that her systolic blood pressure is greater than 140. b. If 4 women in...
