In a group of policy holders, 20% have high blood pressure and 50% have high cholesterol. Of the people with high blood pressure, 25% ha e high cholesterol. A policy holder is randomly selected. what is the probability that he or she has high blood pressure given that he or she has high cholesterol?
probability that he or she has high blood pressure given that he or she has high cholesterol
=P(high blood pressure)*P( high cholestrol|high blood pressure)/P( high cholesterol )
=0.2*0.25/0.50=0.1

In a group of 45 people, 23 males and 22 females, each person has either high blood pressure, a high level of cholesterol or both. If 10 females and 10 males have high blood pressure and 15 females have high level of cholesterol, and 2 males have both, then if a person is selected randomly from this group, what is the probability that (fraction only-reduced): a) the person have both? b) the person has high blood pressure? c) the person...
6. Of all people in one population, 21% have high blood pressure and 36% are overweight. In addition, 42% of people who are overweight also have high blood pressure. Let H represent the event that a person has high blood pressure, and O represent the event that a person is overweight. In each part of this question, you must first express each probability in terms of the events Hand O and justify any computation through the use of a formula....
45% of patients admitted to a clinic are due to causes of high blood pressure. The probability of a patient knowing that they have high blood pressure is 20%. 1. What is the probability that the randomly selected patient is hyperlipidemic and has high blood pressure? 2. What is the probability that the randomly selected patient is not hyperlipidemic and has high blood pressure?
.A special diet is intended to reduce cholesterol in people with high blood pressure. If the diet is effective, the target is to have the average cholesterol level of this group be below 150. After six months on the diet, a sample of 28 patients with high blood pressure had an average cholesterol level of x ̄ = 144 and a standard deviation of s = 21. Assume the distribution of the cholesterol for patients in this group is approximately...

It is estimated that 20% of the members of a health club have high blood pressure. A sample of 4 club members are selected at random. Let r be the number with high blood pressure. Find P(r) for 0, 1, 2, 3, and 4. Round to four decimals. What is the expected number of members in the sample who will have high blood pressure? What is the standard deviation? Could this situation be approximated with a normal model? If we changed the...
Problem B: Cholesterol is a fatty substance that is an important part of the outer lining (membrane) of cells in the body of animals. Its normal range for an adult is 120-240 mg/dl. The Food and Nutrition Institute of the Philippines found that the cholesterol level for Filipino adult has a mean of 159.2 mg/dl and 83.4% of adults have a cholesterol level below 200 mg/dl. Suppose that the cholesterol level is normally distributed. e) An adult is thought to be at...

Blood pressure: High blood pressure has been identified as a risk factor for heart attacks and strokes. The proportion of U.S. adults with high blood pressure is 0.4. A sample of 37 U.S. adults is chosen. Use the TI-84 Calculator as needed. Round the answer to four decimal places. Part 1 Is it appropriate to use the normal approximation to find the probability that more than 45% of the people in the sample have high blood pressure? It is and...
