The mean systolic blood pressure for people in the United States is reported to be 122 millimeters of mercury (mmHg) with a standard deviation of 22.8 millimeters of mercury. The wellness department of a large corporation is investigating if the mean systolic blood pressure is different from the national mean. A random sample of 200 employees in a company were selected and found to have an average systolic blood pressure of 124.7 mmHg.
a) What is the probability a random employees blood pressure is higher than 135 mmHg.
b) What is the probability that 200 randomly selected employees mean blood pressure is greater than 127 mmHg.
c) The wellness department is providing a new health program to their employees. Past studies have shown 9.9 % of their employees have high blood pressure. Find the probability that if the wellness department examines 200 randomly selected employees, less than 12 employees will have high systolic blood pressure. Do you think the new program significantly lowers the number of employees with a high blood pressure.

The Food and Drug Administration (FDA) is an agency of the United States Department of Health and Human Services, one of the United States' federal executive departments. The FDA is responsible for protecting and promoting public health through the regulation and supervision of food safety, tobacco products, prescriptions, and other health-related products. The following are a few examples of the powers the FDA has:
• Most federal laws concerning the FDA are part of the Food, Drug, and Cosmetic Act. Other significant laws enforced by the FDA include the Public Health Service Act, and parts of the Controlled Substances Act. One job of the FDA is to investigate potential violators of these acts and obtain information that will help the FDA determine whether they were in violation of the laws.
• The FDA also has the power to reach a settlement via a consent order from an administrative law judge with companies that may be in violation of some of the standards the FDA imposes on health. For example, the FDA recently reached a settlement with Bayer regarding a birth control product called Yaz. As a result of the settlement, Bayer is airing ads that clarify information on what the medication Yaz does and doesn't do. The company did not admit any wrongdoing, but agreed to run new ads.
• The U.S. Food and Drug Administration issued a final rule containing a broad set of federal requirements designed to significantly curb access to and the appeal of cigarettes and smokeless tobacco products to children and adolescents in the United States. Published in March 19, 2010, the new rule became effective June 22, 2010, and has the force and effect of law.
What judicial power does the FDA have in the example? If a settlement is not reached, what other judicial powers might an administrative agency have?

In the United States, a Social Security number (SSN) is a
nine-digit number that

creates a string
variable new ssn with SSN in user-friendly DDD − DD − DDDD format
and
prints it. If not, it prints an error message Incorrect SSN
