Textbook Question
Chapter 6, Problem 100P
A patient who is taking antihypertensive medication is asked by her doctor to record her blood pressure at home to check that it is in the normotensive
Table 6.14 Home blood-pressure recordings for one patient
The doctor wants to assess whether the underlying mean SBP for this woman is <140 or ≥140 mm Hg.
A person would be classified as hypertensive overall if his or her probability of being hypertensive on an individual day (p) is ≥20% based on a large number of days.
Develop a 95% CI for p based on your answer to Problem 6.99.
What proportion of days would the woman be classified as hypertensive based on the preceding data?
