Based on data from the National Health Survey, women between the ages of and have an average systolic blood pressures (in mm Hg) of with a standard deviation of . Systolic blood pressure for women between the ages of to follow a normal distribution.
a. If one woman from this population is randomly selected, find the probability that her systolic blood pressure is greater than
b. Ifwomen from this population are randomly selected, find the probability that their mean systolic blood pressure is greater than .
c. If the sample were four women between the ages ofto and we did not know the original distribution, could the central limit theorem be used?
A manufacturer produces 25-pound lifting weights. The lowest actual weight is 24 pounds, and the highest is 26 pounds. Each weight is equally likely so the distribution of weights is uniform. A sample of 100 weights is taken.
Find the 90th percentile for the total weight of the 100 weights.
Men have an average weight of pounds with a standard deviation of pounds.
a. Find the probability that randomly selected men will have a sum weight greater than lbs.
b. If men have a sum weight greater than lbs, then their total weight exceeds the safety limits for water taxis. Based on (a), is this a safety concern? Explain.
. Suppose that you form random samples of 25 from this distribution. Let X be the random variable of averages. Let be the random variable of sums. For parts, c through f, sketch the graph, shade the region, label and scale the horizontal axis for , and find the probability.
