For women aged 19-24, systolic blood pressures (in mm Hg) are normally distributed with a mean of 114.8 and a standard deviation of 13.1. Find the probability that 23 randomly selected women aged 19-24 have a mean systolic blood pressure greater than 121.5. Round your answer to 4 decimal places.

p = 0.00714

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the population standard deviation of the distribution is known, the z test ( which produces the z score) is the perfect test for finding the probability of the data set in the question.

From the question,

Population mean (u) = 114.8

Sample mean (x) = 121.5

Population standard deviation (σ) = 13.1

Sample size (n) = 23

The z score formulae is given below as

Z = x - u/σ/√n

Z = 121.5 - 114.8/(13.1/√23)

Z = 6.7/(13.1/√23)

Z = 6.7/2.731

Z = 2.45.

The question is interested in knowing the probability of mean systolic blood pressure greater than 121.5.

This implies that we are looking for the probability at which our z score is greater than 2.45: P(z>2.45)

The z score (z=2.45) has divided the distribution into two regions, z< 2.45 ( area to the left of the distribution) and z>2.45 ( area to the right of distribution).

Hence, p(z>2.45) + p(z<2.45) = 1

To get a the probability, we have to use a standard normal distribution table.

The table we have here gives probability of the distribution to the left ( that's area towards the left), hence we need to find p(z<2.45) first

From the table p(z<2.45) = 0.99286

But p(z>2.45) = 1 - p(z<2.45)

p(z>2.45) = 1 - 0.99286

p(z>2.45) = 0.00714

x = ±sqrt(10)

step-by-step explanation:

5 - 2x² = -15

subtract 5 from each side

5-5 - 2x² = -15-5

-2x^2   = -20

divide by -2 on each side

-2x^2   /-2= -20/-2

x^2 =10

take the square root on each side

sqrt(x^2 )=±sqrt(10)

x = ±sqrt(10)

check:

5 - 2x² = -15

+sqrt(10)

5 - 2(sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

-sqrt(10)

5 - 2(-sqrt(10))² = -15

5 -2(10) = -15

5 -20 = -15

-15 = -15

for a it would be 24 children.

for b i don't understand the question. is it saying for each individual person they pick 5 reds to 7 greens or is it the whole group. clarify and i hope this can you.
