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 suffer from high blood pressure. (3 decimal places)
(c) If systolic blood pressure in Canada is approximately normal, what is the probability that a randomly selected Canadian has a systolic blood pressures in the range from 102 to 149. (3 decimal places)

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 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?
Question 5 [10 points] A doctor at a walk-in clinic is studying high blood pressure among patients of the ages twenty to forty. According to the American Heart Association, a person has high blood pressure if their Systolic and Diastolic readings are above 130 and 39 respectively. A random sample of 10 patients revealed the following blood pressures, where the readings (x,y) correspond to (Systolic Diastolic blood pressures (179,109) (180,120) (11970) (130,85) (159,90) (110,79) (180,120) (119,70) (110,79) (159,90) Assume that...
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.
Check our blood pressure: In a recent study, the Centers for Disease Control and prevention reported that diastolic blood pressures of adult women in the United States are approximately normally distributed with mean 80.4 and a standard deviation of 9.8. (a) What proportion of women have blood pressures lower than 657 (b) What proportion of women have blood pressures between 72 and 90? (c) A diastolic blood pressure greater than 90 is classified as hypertension (high blood pressure). What proportion...
In a recent study, the Centers for Disease Control reported that diastolic blood pressures of adult women in the U.S. are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 80.5 and standard deviation 9.9. Round all answers to 4 decimal places. a. What proportion of women have blood pressures lower than 70? b. Find the 30th percentile for blood pressures. C. Suppose a sample of 150 women is taken. What is the probability that the sample mean blood pressure would be...

Question 3 Background: Blood Pressure versus Position Does the position of patient in which the patient's blood pressure is measured affect the result of the measurement? standing position results in lower readings than measuring systolic blood pressures in supine position. Let the parameter Pd represent the An experiment was designed to assess whether measuring systolic blood pressure population mean difference in systolic blood measurement readings (Standing less Supine, i.e., Standing Supine) for the population of all adults. The researcher would...
Suppose the systolic blood pressure (in mm) of adult males has an approximately normal distribution with mean μμ =125 and standard deviation σσ =14. Create an empirical rule graph with the following: A title and label for the horizontal axis including units. Vertical lines for the mean and first 3 standard deviations in each direction with numerical labels on the horizontal axis Labels for the areas of the 8 regions separated by the vertical lines as well. Note: This may...
