The systolic blood pressure (given in millimeters) of males has an approximately normal distribution with mean and standard deviation . Systolic blood pressure for males follows a normal distribution.
a. Calculate the z-scores for the male systolic blood pressures and millimeters.
b. If a male friend of yours said he thought his systolic blood pressure was standard deviations below the mean, but that he believed his blood pressure was between and millimeters, what would you say to him?

What is the area to the right of one?

A NUMMI assembly line, which has been operating since , has built an average of cars and trucks a week. Generally, of the cars were defective coming off the assembly line. Suppose we draw a random sample of cars. Let represent the number of defective cars in the sample. What can we say about in regard to the empirical rule (one standard deviation, two standard deviations and three standard deviations from the mean are being referred to)? Assume a normal distribution for the defective cars in the sample.
