Question

Use a z-table such as https://www.math.arizona.edu/~rsims/ma464/standardnormaltable.pdf or an online calculator such as http://onlinestatbook.com/2/calculators/normal_dist.html to answer the following question:

This question again refers to the study on blood pressure. What proportion of the population has a blood pressure that is below the value 129.5 mmHg for a normally-distributed set of blood pressures with a mean of 120.1 mmHg and a standard deviation of 15.1 mmHg? Express your answer as a percentage rounded off to 1 decimal place.

For the value from the previous question you just answered, what percentage of the population would have a blood pressure higher than this value? Express your answer as a percentage rounded to 1 decimal place and show your calculations in the space provided below.

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.
