Answer:

Around 0.73% of adults in the USA have stage 2 high blood pressure

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution:

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score 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 p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

Mean of 121 and standard deviation of 16.

This means that \mu = 121, \sigma = 16

Around what percentage of adults in the USA have stage 2 high blood pressure

The proportion is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 160. So

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

Z = \frac{160 - 121}{16}

Z = 2.44

Z = 2.44 has a p-value of 0.9927.

1 - 0.9927 = 0.0073

0.0073*100% = 0.73%

Around 0.73% of adults in the USA have stage 2 high blood pressure

If you choose a card at random from a well shuffled deck of 52 cards, what is the probability that the card chosen is not a hear
Vinvika [58]
Sample space ={13 H + 13 D + 13 S + 13 C} = 52 cards

P(getting one heart) = 13/52 = 1/4
P( getting NO heart) = 1-1/4 = 3/4 = 0.75

What is the LCM of 24 and 54?
Fiesta28 [93]

Answer: 216

Step-by-step explanation:

The LCM of 24 and 54 is 216. To find the least common multiple of 24 and 54, we need to find the multiples of 24 and 54 (multiples of 24 = 24, 48, 72, 96 . . . . 216; multiples of 54 = 54, 108, 162, 216) and choose the smallest multiple that is exactly divisible by 24 and 54, i.e., 216.
