Why???
significant digits 2
Cumulative is a logical value that determines the form of the function. If cumulative is
TRUE, then BINOMDIST returns the cumulative distribution function, which is the
probability that there are at most number_s successes; if FALSE, it returns the probability
mass function, which is the probability that there are number_s successes.

Why???
SAMPLE SIZE * POPULATION PROPORTION = EXPECTED [12 * 0.3 = (approx) 4]
a.
P(X < 180.0) = P((x - 191) / 22.4) < (180.0 - 191) / 22.4) = P(Z < -0.49) = 0.3117
P(X < 190.0) = P((x - 191) / 22.4) < (190.0 - 191) / 22.4) = P(Z < -0.04) = 0.4822
b.
P(X < 200.0) = P((x - 191) / 22.4) < (200.0 - 191) / 22.4) = P(Z < 0.40) = 0.6561P(X > 200.0) =
1 - 0.6561 = 0.3439
c.
P(Z < 1.2816 ) = 0.9
Solving for x:
z =1.2816=(x-191)/22.4x=1.2816*22.4+191
=219.70784
10. Diastolic blood pressures are assumed to follow a normal distribution with a
mean of 85 and a standard deviation of 12
a. What proportion of people have disastolic blood pressure less than 90%
z(90) = (90-85)/12 = 0.4167
P(x < 90) = P(z < 0.4167) = 0.6616
==================
b. What proportion have diatolic blood pressure between 80 and 90% ?
80 is 5 to the left of the mean just as 90 is 5 to the right.
P(80< x < 90) = P(-0.4167 < z < 0.4167) = 0.3231
In order to use the tool, you need to have java enabled on you computer.
To answer these questions, you would use the top graph and enter a mean
of 85 and a standard deviation of 12 where indicated.
a. What proportion of people have diastolic blood pressure less than 90?
The proportion of the people with diastolic blood pressure less than 90
would be .661539 or 66.13539%.
Using the tool, you would select "below" and enter a 90 in the box.
Using the tool, you would select "between" and enter 80 in the first box
and 90 in the second box.
The proportion of the people with diastolic blood pressure of 100 and
above would be .105650 or 10.5650%
Using the tool, you would select "above" and enter 90 in the box.
A picture of the three graphs is shown below:
