Answer:

FA = 25.87

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: BD = 30 , DF = 5 , EF = 16

To find: FA

Rectangular box is a Cuboid.

Figure attached.

AB = FE = 16

So,

In ΔADB

using Pythagoras theorem,

$DB^2=AB^2+AD^2\\30^2=16^2+AD^2\\900=256+AD^2\\AD^2=900-256\\AD^2=644\\AD=\sqrt{644}\\AD=2\sqrt{161}$

Again using Pythagoras theorem in Δ ADF we get

$FA^2=DF^2+AD^2\\FA^2=5^2+(2\sqrt{161})^2\\FA^2=25+644\\FA^2=669\\FA=\sqrt{669}\\FA=25.87$

Therefore, FA = 25.87

AD = sqrt(EF^2 + DB^2) = sqrt(16^2 + 30^2) = sqrt(256 + 900) = sqrt(1156) = 34

AF = sqrt(AD^2 + FD^2) = sqrt(34^2 + 5^2) = sqrt(1156 + 25) = sqrt(1181) = 34.4

According to the WHO MONICA Project the mean blood pressure for people in China is 128 mmHg with a standard deviation of 23 mmHg

Sati [7]

Answer:

a) Mean blood pressure for people in China.

b) 38.21% probability that a person in China has blood pressure of 135 mmHg or more.

c) 71.30% probability that a person in China has blood pressure of 141 mmHg or less.

d) 8.51% probability that a person in China has blood pressure between 120 and 125 mmHg.

e) Since Z when X = 135 is less than two standard deviations from the mean, it is not unusual for a person in China to have a blood pressure of 135 mmHg

f) 157.44mmHg

Step-by-step explanation:

When the distribution is normal, we use the z-score formula.

In a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ , the zscore of a measure X is given by:

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

If X is two standard deviations from the mean or more, it is considered unusual.

In this question:

$\mu = 128, \sigma = 23$

a.) State the random variable.

Mean blood pressure for people in China.

b.) Find the probability that a person in China has blood pressure of 135 mmHg or more.

This is 1 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 135.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{135 - 128}{23}$

$Z = 0.3$

$Z = 0.3$ has a pvalue of 0.6179

1 - 0.6179 = 0.3821

38.21% probability that a person in China has blood pressure of 135 mmHg or more.

c.) Find the probability that a person in China has blood pressure of 141 mmHg or less.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 141.

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{141 - 128}{23}$

$Z = 0.565$

$Z = 0.565$ has a pvalue of 0.7140

71.30% probability that a person in China has blood pressure of 141 mmHg or less.

d.)Find the probability that a person in China has blood pressure between 120 and 125 mmHg.

This is the pvalue of Z when X = 125 subtracted by the pvalue of Z when X = 120. So

X = 125

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{125 - 128}{23}$

$Z = -0.13$

$Z = -0.13$ has a pvalue of 0.4483

X = 120

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$Z = \frac{120 - 128}{23}$

$Z = -0.35$

$Z = -0.35$ has a pvalue of 0.3632

0.4483 - 0.3632 = 0.0851

8.51% probability that a person in China has blood pressure between 120 and 125 mmHg.

e.) Is it unusual for a person in China to have a blood pressure of 135 mmHg? Why or why not?

From b), when X = 135, Z = 0.3

Since Z when X = 135 is less than two standard deviations from the mean, it is not unusual for a person in China to have a blood pressure of 135 mmHg.

f.) What blood pressure do 90% of all people in China have less than?

This is the 90th percentile, which is X when Z has a pvalue of 0.28. So X when Z = 1.28. Then

X = 120

$Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}$

$1.28 = \frac{X - 128}{23}$
