Assume that blood pressure readings are normally distributed with a mean of 118 and a standard deviation of 6.4 . If 64 people are randomly? selected, find the probability that their mean blood pressure will be less than 120 . Round to four decimal places.
Solution:
Given that,
= 118
= 6.4
n = 64
So,
= 118
= ( /n) = (6.4 / 8 ) = 0.8
p ( < 120 )
= p ( - / ) < ( 120 - 118 / 0.8)
= p ( z < 2 /0.8 )
= p ( z < 2.5)
Using z table
= 0.9938
Probability = 0.9938
