Answer:

The  percentage of adults in the USA have stage 2 high blood pressure=98.679%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Mean, [tex]\mu=120[/tex]

Standard deviation, [tex]\sigma=18[/tex]

We have to find percentage of adults in the USA have stage 2 high blood pressure.

[tex]P(x\geq 160)=P(Z\geq \frac{160-120}{18})[/tex]

[tex]P(x\geq 160)=P(Z\geq \frac{40}{18})[/tex]

[tex]P(x\geq 160)=P(Z\geq 2.22)[/tex]

[tex]P(x\geq 160)=1-P(Z\leq 2.22[/tex]

[tex]P(x\geq 160)=0.98679[/tex]

[tex]P(x\geq 160)=98.679[/tex]%

Hence,  the  percentage of adults in the USA have stage 2 high blood pressure=98.679%
