Loretta, who turns eighty this year, has just learned about blood pressure problems in the elderly and is interested in how her blood pressure compares to those of her peers. Specifically, she is interested in her systolic blood pressure, which can be problematic among the elderly.She has uncovered an article in a scientific journal that reports that the mean systolic blood pressure measurement for women over seventy-five is 130.4 mmHg, with a standard deviation of 6.0 mmHg. Assume that the article reported correct information. Complete the following statements about the distribution of systolic blood pressure measurements for women over seventy-five. (a) According to Chebyshev's theorem, at least ?56%75%84%89% of the measurements lie between 118.4 mmHg and 142.4. (b) According to Chebyshev's theorem, at least 36% of the measurements lie between mmHg and mmHg . (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.) (c) Suppose that the distribution is bell-shaped. According to the empirical rule, approximately 99.7% of the measurements lie between mmHg and mmHg . (d) Suppose that the distribution is bell-shaped. According to the empirical rule, approximately ?68%75%95%99.7% of the measurements lie between 118.4 mmHg and 142.4.

Sun Microsystems is a leading supplier of computer-related products, including servers, workstations, storage devices, and network switches. In 2009, Sun Microsystems was acquired by Oracle Corporation. In the letter to stockholders as part of the 2001 annual report, President and CEO Scott G. McNealy offered the following remarks: Fiscal 2001 was clearly a mixed bag for Sun, the industry, and the economy as a whole. Still, we finished with revenue growth of 16 percent—and that's significant. We believe it's a good indication that Sun continued to pull away from the pack and gain market share. For that, we owe a debt of gratitude to our employees worldwide, who aggressively brought costs down—even as they continued to bring exciting new products to market. The statement would not appear to be telling you enough. For example, McNealy says the year was a mixed bag with revenue growth of 16 percent. But what about earnings? You can delve further by examining the income statement in Exhibit 4. Also, for additional analysis of other factors, consolidated balance sheet(s) are presented in Exhibit 5.

You own five apartment complexes. You created a dataset listing the apartment numbers, apartment complex names, number of bedrooms, rental price, whether the apartment is occupied or not, and the date the apartment was last remodeled. You want to insert some functions to perform calculations to help you decide which apartments need to be remodeled. To focus on the apartments that need to be remodeled, you will use advanced filtering and database functions for your analysis. Finally, you are considering purchasing a sixth apartment complex. You will perform some financial calculations and analysis to help you decide if you will purchase the complex.
