Question 654118: Suppose we have a set of blood pressures with a mean of 80 Diastolic, and a sample standard deviation of 5 points. Assuming a normal distribution of diastolic blood pressures, between what two values should 95% of all Diastolic blood pressures lie? Answer by stanbon(75887) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Suppose we have a set of blood pressures with a mean of 80 Diastolic, and a sample standard deviation of 5 points. Assuming a normal distribution of diastolic blood pressures, between what two values should 95% of all Diastolic blood pressures lie?
----------
The z-values for that interval are +-1.96
-----
Solve for "x" using x = z*s+u
-----
Lower Limit: -1.96*5+80 = 70.2
Upper Limit: +1.96*5+80 = 89.8
