Assume that the article reported correct information. Complete the following statements about the distribution of systolic blood pressure measurements for women over seventy-five.

(a) According to Chebyshev's theorem, at least \( \frac{8}{9} \) (about 89%) of the measurements lie between ⬜ mmHg and ⬜ mmHg. (Round your answer to 1 decimal place.)

(b) According to Chebyshev's theorem, at least (Choose one) ▼ of the measurements lie between 116.5 mmHg and 143.7 mmHg.
