Question 481882: Suppose we have a set of blood pressures with a mean of 120 Systolic, and a sample standard deviation of 12 points. If we assume a normal distribution of Systolic blood pressures, then between what two values can we be assured 99.7% of all Systolic blood pressures will lie? Please show all work
Hi,
for a normal distribution, three standard deviations from the mean
accounts for 99.7% of the distribution.
120 + 3*12 = 156
120 = 3*12 = 84
Between 84 and 156 accounts for 99.7% of all the Systolic blood pressures
