Based on data from the National Health Survey, women between the ages of and have an average systolic blood pressures (in mm Hg) of with a standard deviation of . Systolic blood pressure for women between the ages of to follow a normal distribution.
a. If one woman from this population is randomly selected, find the probability that her systolic blood pressure is greater than
b. Ifwomen from this population are randomly selected, find the probability that their mean systolic blood pressure is greater than .
c. If the sample were four women between the ages ofto and we did not know the original distribution, could the central limit theorem be used?
