Scores for men on the verbal portion of the SAT-I test are normally distributed with a mean of 509 a


Question: For women aged 18-24, systolic blood pressures (in mm Hg) are normally distributed with a mean of 114.8 and a standard deviation of 13.1. Hypertension is commonly defined as a systolic blood pressure above 140.

a. If a woman between the ages of 18 and 24 is randomly selected, find the probability that her systolic blood pressure is greater than 140.

b. If 4 women in that age bracket are randomly selected, find the probability that their mean systolic blood pressure is greater than 140.

c. Given that part (b) involves a sample size that is not larger than 30, why can the central limit theorem be used?

d. If a physician is given a report stating that 4 women have a mean systolic blood pressure below 140, can she conclude that none of the women have hypertension (with a blood pressure greater than 140)?
