Suppose the systolic blood pressure (in mm) of adult males has an approximately normal distribution with mean μ =125 and standard deviation σ =14.
Create an empirical rule graph with the following:
A title and label for the horizontal axis including units.
Vertical lines for the mean and first 3 standard deviations in each direction with numerical labels on the horizontal axis
Labels for the areas of the 8 regions separated by the vertical lines as well.
Note: This may be hand drawn or computer generated. See the models for desired formats.
a. Upload your completed file below. Question 1 Part 1 of 5Choose FileNo file chosen
Now use your graph to answer the following questions.
b. About 68% of men will have blood pressure between what amounts?
and
c. What percentage of men will have a systolic blood pressure outside the range 111 mm to 153 mm?
d. Suppose you are a health practitioner and an adult male patient has systolic blood pressure of 171 mm. Use statistics to explain the gravity of his situation. Write an essay below that includes the following:
A brief description of the normal distribution.
Why the normal distribution might apply to this situation.
Describe the specific normal distribution for this situation (give the mean and standard deviation)
A brief description of the empirical rule
What region of the graph (drawn in part a) the individual falls in
An estimate of individual's percentile.
Why this signifies a health concern.
A suggested course of action.
