The systolic blood pressure (measured in mmHg) of adult males follows a normal distribution with a mean of 115 mmHg and standard deviation 8 mmHg. a. What is the probability a randomly selected man has a systolic blood pressure between 100 mmHg and 120 mmHg? b. Stage 2 hypertension is marked by a a systolic blood pressure that is consistently 140 mmHg or higher? What is the likelihood a randomly selected man falls in the range for Stage 2 hypertension? c. What is the cutoff for the lowest 3% of systolic blood pressures in males? d. On what interval do we find the middle 70% of systolic blood pressures?
