Question

Use the empirical rule to solve the problem. The systolic blood pressure of 18 yr. old women is normally distributed with a mean of 120 mmHg (millimeters of Mercury) and a standard deviation of 14 mmHg. What is the percentage of 18 yr. old women that have a systolic blood pressure between 92 mmHg and 162 mmHg.
Z = (score-mean)/SD

Find table in the back of your statistics text labeled something like "areas under normal distribution" to find the proportion/probability between the two Z scores. Multiply by 100.
