a) Mean blood pressure for people in China, which has mean 128 and standard deviation 23.

b) 0.3821 = 38.21% probability that a person in China has blood pressure of 135 mmHg or more.

c) 0.714 = 71.4% probability that a person in China has blood pressure of 141 mmHg or less.

d) 0.0851 = 8.51% probability that a person in China has blood pressure between 120 and 125 mmHg.

e) Since |Z| = 0.3 < 2, it is not unusual for a person in China to have a blood pressure of 135 mmHg.

f) 90% of all people in China have a blood pressure of less than 157.44 mmHg.

Step-by-step explanation:

Normal Probability Distribution

Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the z-score of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

The mean blood pressure for people in China is 128 mmHg with a standard deviation of 23 mmHg

This means that $\mu = 128, \sigma = 23$

a.) State the random variable.

Mean blood pressure for people in China, which has mean 128 and standard deviation 23.

b.) Find the probability that a person in China has blood pressure of 135 mmHg or more.

This is 1 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 135, so:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{135 - 128}{23}$

Z = 0.3

Z = 0.3 has a p-value of 0.6179.

1 - 0.6179 = 0.3821

0.3821 = 38.21% probability that a person in China has blood pressure of 135 mmHg or more.

c.) Find the probability that a person in China has blood pressure of 141 mmHg or less.

This is the p-value of Z when X = 141, so:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{141 - 128}{23}$

Z = 0.565

Z = 0.565 has a p-value of 0.7140.

0.714 = 71.4% probability that a person in China has blood pressure of 141 mmHg or less.

d.) Find the probability that a person in China has blood pressure between 120 and 125 mmHg.

This is the p-value of Z when X = 125 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 120, so:

X = 125

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{125 - 128}{23}$

Z = -0.13

Z = -0.13 has a p-value of 0.4483.

X = 120

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{120 - 128}{23}$

Z = -0.35

Z = -0.35 has a p-value of 0.3632.

0.4483 - 0.3632 = 0.0851

0.0851 = 8.51% probability that a person in China has blood pressure between 120 and 125 mmHg.

e.) Is it unusual for a person in China to have a blood pressure of 135 mmHg? Why or why not?

From item b, when X = 135, Z = 0.3.

Since |Z| = 0.3 < 2, it is not unusual for a person in China to have a blood pressure of 135 mmHg.

f.) What blood pressure do 90% of all people in China have less than?

The 90th percentile, which is X when Z has a p-value of 0.9, so X when Z = 1.28.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$1.28 = \frac{X - 128}{23}$

X - 128 = 1.28*23

X = 157.44

90% of all people in China have a blood pressure of less than 157.44 mmHg.

You and three friends will be going out to eat at your favorite restaurant! each of you will order three items of your choice. you will also need to leave a tip. if you split the bill evenly among all four of you, how much will each person need to contribute? locate a menu for your favorite restaurant and pick three items for yourself and each friend. list the restaurant name, items, and prices in a table like the one below. in the column labeled subtotal, determine the cost of each person’s order. the customary tip is 20% of the total bill. in the column labeled tip, calculate the amount of tip each person should leave. in the column labeled total bill, determine the total of each person’s order, including the tip. restaurant name: names item 1 price item 2 price item 3 price subtotal tip total bill your name friend #1 friend #2 friend #3 part 2: questions answer the following questions, showing all work: what is the total cost of the entire bill (all four meals), including tip? write an expression using fractions to show how to determine the amount that each person will pay. then calculate each person's contributions showing all steps in long division. if each person paid an equal amount, who would save the most money? explain your reasoning using at least two complete sentences.
