Of all people in one population, 21% have high blood pressure and 36% are overweight. In addition, 42% of people who are overweight also have high blood pressure. Let H represent the event that a person has high blood pressure, and O represent the event that a person is overweight. In each part of this question, you must first express each probability in terms of the events H and O and justify any computation through the use of a formula....

Two conditions that often occur together in an older population are high blood pressure (B) and diabetes (D), with at least one condition occurring 50% of the time. Suppose the P(B|D) = 0.7 and the P(D)=0.3. What is the probability that a randomly chosen individual has high blood pressure? Answer to two decimal places.

The systolic blood pressure of adults in the USA is nearly normally distributed with a mean of 121 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) and standard deviation of 17. Someone qualifies as having Stage 2 high blood pressure if their systolic blood pressure is 160 or higher. Stage 1 high BP is specified as systolic BP between 140 and 160. Give your answers rounded to 4 decimal places. a. What is the probability that an adult in the USA has stage 2...

Hypertension is when an adult is classified as having high blood pressure (above 130 systolic blood pressure is considered hypertension). Researchers want to know the proportion of adult North Americans (above age of 18) that have hypertension. Based on a study of 3532 adult North Americans, 1219 of them were classified as having hypertension. a)Researchers want to test if more than a quarter of all North American adults have hypertension (that is to say more than 25% proportion of North...

Assume X = systolic blood pressure of a healthy adult aged 21-45 where X is assumed to be normally distributed with  = 120 and σ = 20. a. Find the probability that a randomly selected person from this population has systolic blood pressure less than 140, ie find P(X < 140). b. If 10% of the population have "high" systolic blood pressure, find the borderline point between "normal" and "high", ie find x0 such that P(X > x0) =...
