A patient visits her doctor with concerns about her blood pressure. If the systolic blood pressure exceeds 140, the patient is considered to have high blood pressure, and medications may be prescribed. The problem is that there is considerable variation in a patient's systolic blood readings during a given day. Assume our patient's systolic blood pressure readings during a given day has a normal distribution of mean of 150 mm mercury and a standard deviation of 20 mm. How many measurements would be required so that the probability of failing to detect that the patient has high blood pressure is at most 5%?

Transcribed Image Text:Question 14
A patient visits her doctor with concerns about her blood pressure. If the systolic blood pressure
exceeds 140, the patient is considered to have high blood pressure, and medications may be
prescribed. The problem is that there is considerable variation in a patient's systolic blood
readings during a given day. Assume our patient's systolic blood pressure readings during a
given day has a normal distribution of mean of 150 mm mercury and a standard deviation of 20
mm.
How many measurements would be required so that the probability of failing to detect that the
patient has high blood pressure is at most 5%?
