Answer:

87.26 mm Hg is the reading that represents the 80th percentile of the distribution.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 78 mm Hg

Standard Deviation, σ = 11 mm Hg

We are given that the distribution of diastolic blood pressure is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Formula:

z_{score} = \displaystyle\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}

We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.80

P(X < x)  

P( X < x) = P( z < \displaystyle\frac{x - 78}{11})=0.8  

Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,  

P(z < 0.842) = 0.8

\displaystyle\dfrac{x - 78}{11} = 0.842\\\\x = 87.262 \approx 87.26

87.26 mm Hg is the reading that represents the 80th percentile of the distribution.

Bob and will toss two coins. if both coins come up heads, bob pays will $6. will pays bob $2 otherwise. what is the expected val
Helga [31]
Each coin has a head and a tail, therefore when you toss two coins, you have 4 possible outcomes. You have two heads in only one of these outcomes, while the other three have at least one tail.

The expected value of the game is the price paid/gained times the probability of loss/victory:

E = (1 / 4) · (-6) + (3 / 4) · (2)
   = -3 / 2 + 3 / 2
   = 0
