The systolic blood pressure of adults in the USA is nearly normally distributed with a mean of 120 and
standard deviation of 17 .
Someone qualifies as having Stage 2 high blood pressure if their systolic blood pressure is 160 or higher.
a. Around what percentage of adults in the USA have stage 2 high blood pressure? Give your answer
rounded to two decimal places.
%
b. If you sampled 2000 people, how many would you expect to have BP> 160? Give your answer to the
nearest person. Note: I had a bit of an issue encoding rounded answers, so try rounding both up and
down if there’s an issue!
