Question

8. The heights of female students at North Shore High School are normally distributed with a mean of 175 cm and a standard deviation of 6 cm. About how many students in a random sample of 1000 female students could we expect to have heights less than 167.5 cm

Answer 1

The number of students with heights less than 163 cm should be expected is 12.

According to the statement

The mean of height is 175 cm

and  the standard deviation of height is 6 cm.

We use normal distribution here with formula

Z= X - μ /σ

Here X is 167.5 and μ is 175 and σ is 6 cm.

Substitute the values in it then

Z = 167.5 - 175 / 6

Z = -1.25

-1.25 have a p value 0.012

Out of 1000 students:

0.012 x 1000 = 12.

So, The number of students with heights less than 163 cm should be expected is 12.
