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.

You find out how many times 4 goes into 4 and get 1 then you find out how many times 4 goes into 5 and get 1 but you subtract 5 minus 4 and get 1 then bring down the 7 to get 17 then find out how many times 4 goes into 17 which is 4 times because 4 times 4 is 16 and you do 17 minus 16 and get 1 then add a decimal and bring down the 1 to get 10 then find out how many times 4 goes into 10 and get 2 subtract and get 2 bring down the zero turn it into 0 then you get 20 then find out how many times 4 goes into 20 and get 5 and 4*5=20 so 20-20 is 0 so your answer is 114.25

On any given day, the number of users, u, that access a certain website can be represented by the inequality 125-4530
Masteriza [31]

Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Our inequality is |125-u| ≤ 30. Let's separate this into two. Assuming that (125-u) is positive, we have 125-u ≤ 30, and if we assume that it's negative, we'd have -(125-u)≤30, or u-125≤30.

Therefore, we now have two inequalities to solve for:

125-u ≤ 30

u-125≤30

For the first one, we can subtract 125 and add u to both sides, resulting in

0 ≤ u-95, or 95≤u. Therefore, that is our first inequality.

The second one can be figured out by adding 125 to both sides, so u ≤ 155.

Remember that we took these two inequalities from an absolute value -- as a result, they BOTH must be true in order for the original inequality to be true. Therefore,

u ≥ 95

and

u ≤ 155

combine to be

95 ≤ u ≤ 155, or the 4th option
