Normal blood pressure typically is defined as having systolic pressure < 120 and diastolic pressure <80. Among US residents age 40+, mean systolic pressure is 130 with a standard deviation of 35, and mean diastolic pressure is 80 with a standard deviation of 20. a) What is the probability that a US resident 40+ has high systolic blood pressure? b) What is the probability that a US resident 40+ does not have high diastolic blood pressure?
