Use the diastolic blood pressure measurements for adult females listed in Data Set 1 “Body Data” and test the claim that the adult female population has a mean diastolic blood pressure level less than 90 mm Hg. A diastolic blood pressure above 90 is considered to be hypertension. Use a 0.05 significance level. Based on the result, can we conclude that none of the adult females in the sample have hypertension?

Use the data set from Appendix B to test the given claim. Use the P-value method unless your instructor specifies otherwise.

Data Set 1: Body Data 

Body and exam measurements are from 300 subjects (first five rows shown here). AGE is in years, for GENDER 1 = male and 0 = female, PULSE is pulse rate (beats per minute), SYSTOLIC is systolic blood pressure (mm Hg), DIASTOLIC is diastolic blood pressure (mm Hg), HDL is HDL cholesterol (mg/dL), LDL is LDL cholesterol (mg/dL), WHITE is white blood cell count (1000 cells/mL), RED is red blood cell count (million cells/mL), PLATE is platelet count (1000 cells/mL), WEIGHT is weight (kg), HEIGHT is height (cm), WAIST is waist circumference (cm), ARM CIRC is arm circumference (cm), and BMI is body mass index (kg/m2).
