Women have pulse rates that are normally distributed with a mean of 75.5 beats per minute and a standard deviation of 11.3 beats per minute.
a. Find the percentiles Upper P 1 and Upper P 99
P1= __________ beats per minute
P(X < A) = P(Z < (A - mean)/standard deviation)
Mean = 75.5 beats per minute
Standard deviation = 11.3 beats per minute
a) P(X < P1) = 0.01
P(Z < (P1 - 75.5)/11.3) = 0.01
From standard normal distribution table,
(P1 - 75.5)/11.3 = -2.33
P1 = 49.17 beats per minute
P(X < P99) = 0.99
P(Z < (P99 - 75.5)/11.3) = 0.99
From standard normal distribution table,
(P99 - 75.5)/11.3 = 2.33
P99 = 101.83 beats per minute
