A blood pressure test was given to 450 women ages 20 to 36. It showed that their mean systolic blood pressure was 119.4 mm Hg, with standard
deviation of 13.2 mm Hg.
 Determine the z-score, to the nearest hundredth, for a woman who had a systolic blood pressure reading of 110.5 mm Hg.
 The z-score for one woman was 2.15. What was her systolic blood pressure reading?

A. Determine the z-score, to the nearest hundredth, for a woman who had a systolic blood pressure reading of 110.5 mm Hg 
Considering the values
x̅ = 119.4
x= 110.5
s= 13.2
Substitute the given values into z-score equation and then compute.

B. The z-score for one woman was 2.15. What was her systolic blood pressure reading?
Considering the values

In 2015, the median family income in the United States was $66,650. If the 90 th percentile for the 2015 median four-person family income was
$178,500, find the percentage of families whose 2015 income was
 more than $66,650
 more than $178,500
 between $66,650 and $178,500

 more than $66,650

By definition, the median is the 50th percentile. Therefore, 50% of the families of United States earned more than $66,650
 more than $178,500
Because $105,900 is the 90th percentile, 10% families of United States made more than $178,500.
 between $66,650 and $178,500
From parts a and b, 90% – 50% = 40% of the families earned between $66,650 and $178,500
