The systolic blood pressure (given in millimeters) of males has an approximately normal distribution with mean = 130 and standard deviation = 12.
(a) Calculate the z-scores for the male systolic blood pressures 105 and 155 millimeters. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) 105mm Z = -2.08, 155mm Z = 2.08
(b) If a male friend of yours said he thought his systolic blood pressure was 2.5 standard deviations below the mean, but that he believed his blood pressure was between 105 and 155 millimeters, what would you say to him? (Enter your numerical answer to the nearest whole number.) You would say that his blood pressure reading of 105 millimeters is within the range of 105 to 155 millimeters.
