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.

What does f(-1) =_<br> and x=_ ?
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

F(-1) = 1

x = 3

Step-by-step explanation:

1) Assume that f(-1) = y1

So that point A (x1 = -1; y1) is a point lying in the graph representing the equation y = f(x)

As it can be seen in the figure, the graph representing that equation crosses point (-1; 1)

=> Point A has y1 = 1

=> f (-1) =1

2) Assume that f(x2) = -2

So that point B (x2; y2 = -2) is a point on the graphy representing the equation y = f(x)

As indicated in the figure, the graph crosses point (3; -2)

=> Point B has x2 = 3

=> When f(x) = -2, x = 3

Find the total number of diagonals in a regular nonagon.
anastassius [24]

Answer:

7

Step-by-step explanation:

number of diagonals in a regular polygon = number of sides - 2.

A nonagon is a polygon having 9 sides.

Total number of diagonals in a regular nonagon

= 9 - 2

= 7

Square root of50 is it rational true or false
morpeh [17]
Rational numbers end
irrational numbers do not
pi is an irrational number
√2 is an irrational number
so
√50=√2 times √25=√2 times 5
irrational times rational =irrational
√2=irrational

answer is false, it is rrational
