the diastolic blood pressure of a candidate sitting for the public examination follows a normal
distribution with an unknown mean  mmHg and a standard derivation 6.25 mmHg.

(b) Suppose that  = 84. If the diastolic blood pressure of a candidate sitting for the public
examination is 90 mmHg or above, the candidate is considered as ‘overstressed’.
