From this histogram, we see that diastolic blood pressure (the number on the bottom of your blood pressure reading) is approximately normally distributed within general populations with a mean of about 83 and a std dev of about 10. How would you estimate the mean and standard deviation of a normal data set if you only had a histogram (not the original data)? Suppose you are a researcher at Kaiser Permanente and you have access to the blood pressure readings of all patients at the Oakland offices. If one Kaiser Oakland office saw 100 patients last Thursday (and took each patient’s blood pressure), what’s the probability that the sample of 100 blood pressure measurements had an average diastolic reading between 85mmHg and 95mmHg? Assume the sample of 100 blood pressure measurements is random. Make sure to explain how you determined your answer.
