The data show systolic and diastolic blood pressure of certain people. A) Find the regression equation, letting the systolic reading be the independent (x) variable. B) Find the best predicted diastolic pressure for a person with a systolic reading of 148. C)Is the predicted value close to 64.1, which was the actual diastolic reading? Use a significance level of 0.05.

A random sample of size n1 = 16 is selected
from a normal population with a mean of 74 and a standard deviation
of 9. A second random sample of size n2 = 7 is
taken from another normal population with mean 68 and standard
deviation 11. Let X1and X2 be the two sample means. Find:
(a) The probability that X1-X2 exceeds 4.
(b) The probability that 4.8 ≤X1-X2≤ 5.6.
Round your answers to two decimal places (e.g. 98.76).

Trials in an experiment with a polygraph include 98 results that include 24 cases of wrong results and 74 cases of correct results. Use a 0.05 significance level to test the claim that such polygraph results are correct less than 80% of the time. Identify the null hypothesis, alternative hypothesis, test statistic, P-value, conclusion about the null hypothesis, and final conclusion that addresses the original claim. Use theP-value method. Use the normal distribution as an approximation of the binomial distribution.
