Answer:

D) anterior pituitary gland

Explanation:

The anterior pituitary gland is the front portion of the pituitary. It is a small gland in the head called the master gland. Hormones which are secreted by the anterior pituitary influence growth, sexual development, skin pigmentation, thyroid function, and adrenocortical function.

The Anterior Lobe of the pituitary plays the 'master' role of the human body through secretion of six major hormones that affect most of the body. This includes the other Endocrine glands.

Use the empirical rule to solve the problem. the systolic blood pressure of 18-year-old women is normally distributed with a mea
slava [35]
First you need to determine how much standard deviation the range is. 
120+12*x= 96
x= 96-120/ 12= -2

120+12*y=144
y= 144-120/12= +2

Systolic blood pressure between 96 mmHg and 144 mmHg means that the blood pressure is at -2SD to +2SD. The Z-score for -2SD is 0.0228 and +2SD is 0.9772
So the percentage would be: 0.9772- 0.0228  * 100%= 95.44%
