O A. Yes; P(High blood pressurel Female) = 0.227, P(High blood pressure| Male) = 0.227. These are equal. B. No; P(High blood pressure) = 0.211, P(High blood pressure| Female) = 0.227. These are not equal. OC. Yes; a patient with high blood pressure cannot be both male and female. O D. Yes; P(High blood pressure| Female) = 0.211, P(High blood pressure| Male) = 0.211. These are equal. O E. No: P(High blood pressure and Male) = 0.097, P(High blood pressure and Female) = 0.114. These are not equal.
