METHOD 1
f(3) = 20
f(4) = 30
f(5) = 42
f(6) = 56
rate of change
f(4)-f(3)=10
f(5)-f(4)=12
f(6)-f(5)=14
then the average of change is 10+12+14 /3 = 12
METHOD 2 --- faster
rate of change = f(6)-f(3) / 6-3
= (36+18+2)-(9+9+2) / 3
= 36/3 = 12
Answer:
The probability is 0.9938
Step-by-step explanation:
In this question, we are asked to calculate the probability that the mean blood pressure readings of a group of people is less than a certain reading.
To calculate this, we use the z score.
Mathematically;
z = (mean - value)/(standard deviation/√N)
From the question, we can identify that the mean is 125, the value is 123 , the standard deviation is 9.6 and N ( total population is 144)
Let’s plug these values;
z = (125-123)/(9.6/√144) = 2.5
Now we proceed to calculate the probability with a s score less than 2.5 using statistical tables
P(z<2.5) = 0.9938
In decimal form=-7.37
