Suppose that systolic blood pressure measurements follow a normal distribution with a mean of 120 mmHg and a standard deviation of 10 mmHg. What value (in mmHG) has 61.79% of all blood pressures below it?
Added by Escarly V.
Step 1
The problem states that systolic blood pressure measurements follow a normal distribution with a mean (μ) of 120 mmHg and a standard deviation (σ) of 10 mmHg. We need to find the blood pressure value (x) such that 61.79% of all measurements are below this value. Show more…

Assume that the systolic Blood Pressure of men is normally distributed with mean BP 120 mm of Hg and standard deviation 10 mm of Hg. Determine the proportion of men whose BP is above 140 mm of Hg.

Assume that the mean systolic blood pressure of normal adults is 120 millimeters of mercury (mm Hg) and the standard deviation is 5.6. Assume the variable is normally distributed. Use a graphing calculator and round the answer to four decimal places. If an idividual is selected, find the probablilty that the individual's blood pressure will be between 120 and 121.6 mm HG.
