Question
In the US, the systolic blood pressure of a randomly selected patient has unknown distribution with a mean of 116 mmHg and a standard deviation of 19.7 mmHg. Let XX be the systolic blood pressure of a randomly selected patient and let ¯¯¯XX¯  be the average systolic blood pressure of a random sample of size 35.

1. Describe the probability distribution of XX and state its parameters μμ and σσ:

 X∼X∼         ( μ=μ= , σ=σ= )

and find the probability that the systolic blood pressure of a randomly selected patient is less than 120 mmHg.

 

(If you can find the probability given the information above, round your answer to 3 decimal places. If you cannot find the probability given the information above, enter "DNE".)

2. Use the Central Limit Theorem because...

     

to describe the probability distribution of ¯¯¯XX¯ and state its parameters μ¯¯¯XμX¯ and σ¯¯¯XσX¯: (Round the answers to 1 decimal place)

 ¯¯¯X∼X¯∼         ( μ¯¯¯X=μX¯= , σ¯¯¯X=σX¯= )

and find the probability that the average systolic blood pressure of a sample of 35 randomly selected patients is between 114 and 117 mmHg.

 (Round the answer to 3 decimal places. If the answer rounds to fewer decimals, add 0's at the end. For example, if the answer is 0.5, type in 0.500.)
