Answer:

0.1715

Step-by-step explanation:

From previous experience 340/1982 is the past probability that a person has high blood pressure.

The division of that leads to 0.1715 that the next person will have high blood pressure. That number is roughly (very roughly) 1 person in 6. So if 6 people come in 1 will have high blood presure.
