As part of a research project, the blood pressures of 2000 patients in a hospital are recorded. The systolic blood pressures (given in millimeters) have an approximately normal distribution with mean μ = 129 and standard deviation σ = 14. Use the 68-95-99.7 rule to complete the following. (a) Estimate the number of patients whose blood pressure was between 115 and 171 millimeters. (b) Estimate the number of patients whose blood pressure was between 115 and 157 millimeters.

The systolic blood pressure (given in millimeters) of males has an approximately normal distribution with mean µ = 125 and standard deviation σ = 14. Systolic blood pressure for males follows a normal distribution. Calculate the z-scores for the male systolic blood pressures 100 and 150 millimeters. z-score for 100 = z-score for 150 =
