The blood pressure of adult males is normally distributed with a mean of 125mm/hg and a standard deviation of 8. a) What % of men have blood pressure of 126.6mm/Hg or less? b) What % of men have blood pressure of 129mm/Hg or more? c) What % of males have blood pressure of between 129mm/Hg and 133mm/Hg? d) Determine the range of blood pressures that you would expect 95% of these adult males to have. i.e., Find the interval (with mean as the centre) of blood pressures so that 95 % of the adult males are likely to have.

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

Probability Computations for General Normal Random Variables
The systolic blood pressure (given in millimeters) of males has an approximately normal distribution with mean μ = 135 and standard deviation σ = 16. (a) Calculate the z-scores for the male systolic blood pressures 130 and 140 millimeters. (Round your answers to two decimal places.) 130 mm z = (BLANK) 140 mm z = (BLANK) (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 130 and 140 millimeters, what would you say to him? (Enter your numerical answer to the nearest whole number.) He is ---Select--- (CORRECT/INCORRECT) because 2.5 standard deviations below the mean would give him a blood pressure reading of BLANK millimeters, which is ---Select--- (IN/ABOVE/BELOW) the range of 130 to 140 millimeters.
