Question

!!!!!!WILL MARK BRAINLIEST I need answer quickly!!!!!!!!
For males in a certain town, the systolic blood pressure is normally distributed with a mean of 105 and a standard deviation of 5. Using empirical rule, determine the interval of systolic blood pressures that represent the middle 99.7 of males

Answer 1

Answer:

Average systolic blood pressure = x = 130

Standard deviation = s = 6

Step-by-step explanation:

We are to find interval that represents the systolic blood pressure of middle 99.7% of the males.

According to the empirical rule:

a) 68% values lie within 1 standard deviation of the mean

b) 95% values lie within 2 standard deviation of the mean

c) 99.7% values lie within 3 standard deviation of the mean

So, 99.7% value will lie within 3 standard deviations from the mean.

We can express this range as:

( x - 3s, x + 3s)

= (130 - 3(6), 130 +3(6))

= ( 130 - 18, 130 + 18)

= ( 112, 148 )

Thus the interval from 112 to 148 contains the systolic blood pressure of middle 99.7% of the males in the certain town

Hope this helps!!!
