Question

Diastolic blood pressure is a measure of the pressure when arteries rest between heartbeats. Suppose diastolic blood pressure levels in women are normally distributed with a mean of

70.7

mm Hg and a standard deviation of

mm Hg. Complete parts (a) and (b) below.

a. A diastolic blood pressure level above 90 mm Hg is considered to be hypertension. What percentage of women have hypertension?

nothing%

(Round to two decimal places as needed.)

b. If we randomly collect samples of women with

in each sample, what percentage of those samples have a mean above 90 mm Hg?

nothing%

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
