Using the normal distribution, it is found that there is a 0.0139 = 1.39% probability that his systolic blood pressure will be greater than 160 mm.

<h3>Normal Probability Distribution</h3>

In a <em>normal distribution</em> with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the z-score of a measure X is given by:

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

  • It 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, which is the percentile of X.

In this problem:

  • The mean is of 138 mm, hence \mu = 138.
  • The standard deviation is of 10 mm, hence \sigma = 10.

The probability that his systolic blood pressure will be greater than 160 mm is <u>1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 160</u>, hence:

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

Z = \frac{160 - 138}{10}

Z = 2.2

Z = 2.2 has a p-value of 0.9861.

1 - 0.9861 = 0.0139

0.0139 = 1.39% probability that his systolic blood pressure will be greater than 160 mm.

Algebra Complete the table.Write the
AURORKA [14]

Step-by-step explanation:

<em>In the second column, we can see that every value of n is being added by 6. </em>

  • Thus, the expression is n + 6.

<em>Now, let's substitute the value of n in each column to verify each column. Then, using the expression, let's find the value of n + 6 where n = 28.</em>

<u>When n is 12:</u>

  • n + 6 = 18
  • 12 + 6 = 18
  • 18 = 18

<u>When n is 15:</u>

  • n + 6 = 21
  • 15 + 6 = 21
  • 21 = 21

<u>When n is 21:</u>

  • n + 6 = 27
  • 21 + 6 = 27
  • 27 = 27

<em>Thus, the expression is proven correct. Now, let's find n + 6 when n is 28.</em>

<u>Finding n + 6 when n is 28:</u>

  • n + 6 = x
  • 28 + 6 = x
  • 34 = x

Thus, the missing value in the table is 34.
