For the first question:

The range in 1996 was 15.058 while the lowest pressure in 2000 is in the 120s so 15% of 120 are definitely greater than the range in 1996.

No - since the range is roughly around 16 , while the first value itself in 2000 is greater than 16

No - No mention about specific male population

Yes- Papua New Guinea,India, Cambodia ,& Thailand are the four countries, which were below 125 in 1980 are still below 125 in 2008

The first answer is No - The range in 1996 was 16.417 and the 15% in 2000 is greater than 16

No - The data doesn't mention anything about males, it talks about adults

Yes- Papua New Guinea, India, Cambodia & Thailand are the only four countries, whose Systolic Blood Pressure (SBP) was below 125 in 1980 and even below 125 in 2008.

Thanks.
