She tests a random sample of her patients and notes their blood pressures (high, low, or normal) and their heartbeats (regular or irregular). She finds that: (i) 16% have high blood pressure. (ii) 20% have low blood pressure. (iii) 12% have an irregular heartbeat. (iv) Of those with an irregular heartbeat, one-fourth have high blood pressure. (v) Of those with normal blood pressure, one-seventh have an irregular heartbeat. Calculate the portion of the patients selected who have a regular heartbeat and low blood pressure.
