Question

Exercise 6 (21 points) Systolic Blood Pressure is measured by (mm Hg) Data are from the National Center of Health Statistics This is a random sample of adult systolic blood pressure measurements from adults in the United States. Adult Systolic Use the following systolic measurements for 80 adults Blood pressure Find the percentile corresponding to the blood pressure value.   (mm Hg) Be sue to sort the data from lowest to highest. 104 99 The systolic pressure of 120 is the point that divides the ideal pressure 102 from the Pre-High blood pressure. What percentile is the systolic pressure of 120? 114 94 101 108 The systolic pressure of 140 is the point that divides the Pre-High Blood pressure 90 from the High Blood pressure. What percentile is the systolic pressure of 140? 123 93 89 112 The systolic pressure of 90 is the point that divides the ideal pressure 107 from the Low blood pressure.

Explanation / Answer

Arrange the data in ascending order

a) What percentile is the systolic pressure of 120?

Percentile = (no. of values less than 120/total number of observations)*100%

=(55/80)*100% = 68.75

P68.75

b) What percentile is the systolic pressure of 140

Percentile = (76/80)*100% = 95

P95

c) What percentile is the systolic pressure of 90

Percentile = (2/80)*100% = 2.5

P2.5

d)

P30 = (n*Percentile)/100 = (80*30)/100 = 24th observation = 107

P65 = (65*80)/100 = 52nd observation = 118

P50 = (80*50)/100 = 40th observation = 113

Q1 = n/4 =80/4 = 20th observation = 107

Q3 = 3n/4 = 3*80/4 = 60th observation = 124

5 number summary

Minimum value = 89

Q1 = 107

Median = 113

Q3 = 124

Maximum value = 181
