Question

Charmaine, who turns eighty years old this year, has just learned about blood pressure problems in the elderly and is interested in how her blood pressure compares to those of her peers. She has uncovered an article in a scientific journal that reports that the mean systolic blood pressure measurement for women over seventy-five is 130.6 mmHg, with a standard deviation of 5.1 mmHg. Assume that the article reported correct information. Complete the following statements about the distribution of systolic blood pressure measurements for women over seventy-five. (a) According to Chebyshev's theorem, at least (Choose one) of the measurements lie between 120.4 mmHg and 140.8 mmHg. (b) According to Chebyshev's theorem, at least 36% of the measurements lie between mmHg and mmHg. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)

Step 1

4 and 140.8. Given that the mean is 130.6 and the standard deviation is 5.1, we have: For 120.4: (130.6 - 120.4) / 5.1 = 2.00 standard deviations away For 140.8: (140.8 - 130.6) / 5.1 = 2.00 standard deviations away Show more…
