Young Adults at Risk. Research by R. Pyhala et al. shows that young adults who were born prematurely with very low birth weights (below 1500 grams) have higher blood pressure than those born at term. The study can be found in the article, “Blood Pressure Responses to Physiological Stress in Young Adults with Very Low Birth Weight” (Pediatrics, Vol. 123, No. 2, pp. 731–734). The researchers found that systolic blood pressures of young adults who were born prematurely with very low birth weights have mean 120.7 mm Hg and standard deviation 13.8 mm Hg. a. Identify the population and variable. b. For samples of 30 young adults who were born prematurely with very low birth weights, find the mean and standard deviation of all possible sample mean systolic blood pressures. Interpret your results in words. c. Repeat part (b) for samples of size 90.
