Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

The main goal in any equation is to get the unknown variable all by itself. In this case that means moving the fraction of 7/8 over to the other side of the equals sign. On the left, the fraction is being subtracted; that means that to move it to the other side, we add it since adding is the opposite of subtracting.

$x-\frac{7}{8}+\frac{7}{8}=4+\frac{7}{8}$

On the left side, if you have 7/8 and then take that 7/8 away, it's gone completely. What we have now is

$x=4+\frac{7}{8}$

We need a common denominator so we can add 4 (which is 4/1) to 7/8. 8 is the common denominator.

$x=\frac{4}{1}(\frac{8}{8})+\frac{7}{8}$ and

$x=\frac{32}{8}+\frac{7}{8}$ giving us

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

Sati [7]

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

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

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

$X - 128 = 1.28*23$

$X = 157.44$

157.44mmHg

The matching function is what the example situation needs to perform to channel intermediaries in contributing values. In addition, the method is used to "match" the unmatched factors to its designated type. The Cobb-Douglas' equation is commonly used in describing the matching function.
