A World Health Organization study (the MONICA project) of health in various countries reported that in Canada, systolic blood pressure readings have a mean of 125 and a standard deviation of 17. A reading above 147 is considered to be high blood pressure. (a) How many standard deviations away from the mean is a blood pressure reading of 1477 Z-1.294 (3 decimal places) (b) If systolic blood pressure in Canada is approximately normal, find the proportion of Canadians that suffer from high blood pressure. (3 decimal places) (C) If systolic blood pressure in Canada is approximately normal, what is the probability that a randomly selected Canadian has a systolic blood pressures in the range from 102 to 147.
