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

Given that <span>Jan has 35 teaspoons of chocolate cocoa mix and 45 teaspoons of French vanilla cocoa mix and that she wants to put the same amount of mix into each jar.

Given that she only wants one flavor mix in each jar and that she wants to fill as many jars as possible.

This question depicts a HCF (highest common factor) question where the maximum amount of jars of each flavor she can fill represent the multiple of the HCF of 35 and 45.

35 = 5 x 7
45 = 5 x 9

Thus the HCF of 35 and 45 is 5.

Therefore, the number of jars of French vanilla cocoa mix Jan will fill is 9.</span>
