Answer:

0.9938

Step-by-step explanation:

Let mean blood pressure be = x

Pr ( x < 119 ) can be found using ' z value ' = ( x - u ) ÷ ( s / √n ) ; where                x = 119 , u = mean = 117 , n = no. of sample items = 144 , s = standard deviation = 9.6

z = (119 - 117) ÷ (9.6 / 144) = -2 ÷ (9.6 / 12)  = -2 / 0.8 → z = 2.5

Pr (x < 119) = P (z <  2.5)

P = 0.9938

<h3>What is the linear system?</h3>

A linear system is one in which the parameter in the equation has a degree of one. It might have one, two, or even more variables.

In a class test of 15 questions, (+4) marks are given for every correct answer, (– 2) marks are given for every incorrect answer, and 0 marks are given for questions that are not attempted. Punit scored (– 2) marks.

If he answered 3 questions correctly, then the number of the question are got wrong and the number of the question that he did not attempt.

Let x be the correct question and y be the incorrect question, z be the number of questions that he did not attempt, and A be the number of the total score. Then we have

4x – 2z = A

x + y + z = 15

If A = -2 and x = 3, then we have

4 × 3 – 2z = -2

      12 + 2 = 2z

              z = 7

Then the value of y will be

3 + y + 7 = 15

           y = 5
