According to the WHO MONICA Project the mean blood pressure for people in China is 128 mmHg with a standard deviation of 23 mmHg

(Kuulasmaa, Hense & Tolonen, 1998). Assume that blood pressure is normally distributed. a.) State the random variable. b.) Find the probability that a person in China has blood pressure of 135 mmHg or more. c.) Find the probability that a person in China has blood pressure of 141 mmHg or less. d.)Find the probability that a person in China has blood pressure between 120 and 125 mmHg. e.) Is it unusual for a person in China to have a blood pressure of 135 mmHg? Why or why not? f.) What blood pressure do 90% of all people in China have less than?

Answer:

a) Mean blood pressure for people in China.

b) 38.21% probability that a person in China has blood pressure of 135 mmHg or more.

c) 71.30% probability that a person in China has blood pressure of 141 mmHg or less.

d) 8.51% probability that a person in China has blood pressure between 120 and 125 mmHg.

e) Since Z when X = 135 is less than two standard deviations from the mean, it is not unusual for a person in China to have a blood pressure of 135 mmHg

f) 157.44mmHg

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

If X is two standard deviations from the mean or more, it is considered unusual.

In this question:

\mu = 128, \sigma = 23

a.) State the random variable.

Mean blood pressure for people in China.

b.) Find the probability that a person in China has blood pressure of 135 mmHg or more.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 135.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{135 - 128}{23}

Z = 0.3

Z = 0.3 has a pvalue of 0.6179

1 - 0.6179 = 0.3821

38.21% probability that a person in China has blood pressure of 135 mmHg or more.

c.) Find the probability that a person in China has blood pressure of 141 mmHg or less.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 141.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{141 - 128}{23}

Z = 0.565

Z = 0.565 has a pvalue of 0.7140

71.30% probability that a person in China has blood pressure of 141 mmHg or less.

d.)Find the probability that a person in China has blood pressure between 120 and 125 mmHg.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 125 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 120. So

X = 125

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{125 - 128}{23}

Z = -0.13

Z = -0.13 has a pvalue of 0.4483

X = 120

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

Z = \frac{120 - 128}{23}

Z = -0.35

Z = -0.35 has a pvalue of 0.3632

0.4483 - 0.3632 = 0.0851

8.51% probability that a person in China has blood pressure between 120 and 125 mmHg.

e.) Is it unusual for a person in China to have a blood pressure of 135 mmHg? Why or why not?

From b), when X = 135, Z = 0.3

Since Z when X = 135 is less than two standard deviations from the mean, it is not unusual for a person in China to have a blood pressure of 135 mmHg.

f.) What blood pressure do 90% of all people in China have less than?

This is the 90th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.28. So X when Z = 1.28. Then

X = 120

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

1.28 = \frac{X - 128}{23}

X - 128 = 1.28*23

X = 157.44

So

157.44mmHg

Answer:

6(x-8)=5-2x

Step-by-step explanation:

let the number be x

so we have six times the difference between a number and 8

that is 6(x-8).

is equal to 5 less than twice the number ..we have

=5-2x.

therefore, our answer becomes:

6(x-8)=5-2x

Aloiza [94]

Answer:

2/7

Step to step explanation:

This question is in other words, asking you to simplify the fraction.

Find the GCF and divide both the denominator and numeratior by the GCF.

The GCF of 24/84 is 12.

24/12 = 2

84/12 = 7.

Answer:

Yes it is a function

Step-by-step explanation:

We have to check the ordered pairs to find out if given relation is a function or not.

In an ordered pair, the first element represents the input and the second element represents the output.

The set of inputs is domain and output is range.

For a relation to be function, there should be no repetition in domain i.e there should be unique pairs of input and output.

In the given relation, the domain is {3,5,-1,-2}.

No element is repeated hence it is a function ..

Help this confusing no matter how any times I do it
3241004551 [841]

Answer:

The variable 8. Equation is 16 + 12x = 112.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that she spent $16 dollars on magazines, so we can put it in the equation (16 + x= ?). We also know that the total is $112, so we can also add that (16+ x= 112). We don't know how many books she got, but we do know how much they cost (16 + 12x=112. So that makes  the books the variable (X).

To find the variable we need to take out the magazines from the price. 112-16=96. Now we're left with 12x=96. Now all we have to do is divide 96 by 12, which equals 8.

Sorry everything is so long, I tried to make it short as possible
