Suppose that the blood pressure (systolic) is approximately normally distributed with a mean of 120 mm Hg and a standard deviation of 8 mm Hg. The probability that a randomly selected person would have blood pressure between 110 and 130 is equal to 0.7888 0.1056 0.3944 None 0.2112

The systolic blood pressure X of adults in a region is normally distributed with a mean of 112 mm Hg and a standard deviation of 15 mm Hg. A person is considered "prehypertensive" if their systolic blood pressure is between 120 and 130 mm Hg. Find the probability that the blood pressure of a randomly selected person is prehypertensive.

A study found that the mean systolic blood pressure was 106 mm Hg. Assume that the systolic blood pressure follows a normal distribution with mean = 106 mm Hg and a standard deviation of 8 mm Hg. What is the probability that a randomly selected systolic blood pressure is greater than 100 mm Hg? Round your answer to two decimal places.

Blood pressure readings are normally distributed with a mean of 120 mm Hg and a standard deviation of 10 mm Hg. If a person is chosen at random, what is the probability that his/her blood pressure is less than 130 mm Hg?
