Suppose that diastolic blood pressure in hypertensive women is normally distributed with a mean of 100 mg Hg and a standard deviation of 14mm Hg. If 10 hypertensive women were randomly selected from this population, what is the probability that exactly 5 will have diastolic blood pressure less than 95 mgHg?

Answer:

P[Z < -3.572]

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that;

[tex]\mu = 100\\ \sigma=14[/tex]

A sample of size (n) = 10

Let [tex]\bar x[/tex] be mean of the sample

So the sampling distribution of [tex]\bar x[/tex]  = Mean [tex]\mu_ {\bar x} = \mu =100[/tex]

SD [tex]\sigma _{ \bar x} =\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}[/tex]

[tex]\sigma _{ \bar x} =\frac{14}{\sqrt{10}}[/tex]

     =4.4

To calculate: [tex]P( \bar x < 95)[/tex]; we have:

[tex]= P[\frac{(\bar x - \mu_{\bar x})}{\frac{\sigma _{\bar x}<(95-100)}{14} } ][/tex]

= P [Z < -3.572]
