Find the z score.
\n" ); document.write( "\"Z=%28x-mu%29%2Fsigma=%28120-118%29%2F9\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"Z=0.222\"
\n" ); document.write( "Find the corresponding probability for that z-score.
\n" ); document.write( "\"P%5B1%5D=0.5879\"
\n" ); document.write( "That probability corresponds to blood pressures from 0 to 120 so you need to get the complement.
\n" ); document.write( "\"P=1-P%5B1%5D\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"P=1-0.5879\"
\n" ); document.write( "\"P=0.412\"
\n" ); document.write( "
