The first part of the question is missing and it says;
Use these parameters: Men's heights are normally distributed with mean 68.6 in. and standard deviation 2.8 in. Women's heights are normally distributed with mean 63.7 in. and standard deviation 2.9 in.
Answer:
A) Percentage of women meeting the height requirement = 72.24%
B) Percentage of men meeting the height requirement = 0.875%
C) Corresponding women's height =67.42 inches while corresponding men's height = 72.19 inches
Step-by-step explanation:
From the question,
For men;
Mean μ = 68.6 in
Standard deviation σ = 2.8 in
For women;
Mean μ = 63.7 in
Standard deviation σ = 2.9 in
Now let's calculate the standardized scores;
The formula is z = (x - μ)/σ
A) For women;
Z = (62 - 63.7)/2.9 = - 0.59
Z = (78 - 63.7)/2.9 = 4.93
The original question cam be framed as;
P(62 < X < 78).
So thus, the probability of only women will take the form of;
P(-0.59 < Z < 4.93) = P(Z<4.93) - P(Z > - 0.59)
From the normal probability table attached, when we interpolate, we'll arrive at P(Z<4.93) = 0.9999996
And P(Z > - 0.59) = 0.277595
Thus;
P(Z<4.93) - P(Z > - 0.59) =0.9999996 - 0.277595 = 0.7224
So, percentage of women meeting the height requirement is 72.24%.
B) For men;
Z = (62 - 68.6)/2.8 = -2.36
Z = (78 - 68.6)/2.8 = 3.36
Thus, the probability of only men will take the form of;
P(-2.36 < Z < 3.36) = P(Z<3.36) - P(Z > - 2.36)
From the normal probability table attached, when we interpolate, we'll arrive at P(Z<3.36) = 0.99961
And P(Z > -2.36) = 0.99086
Thus;
P(Z<3.36) - P(Z > -2.36) 0.99961 - 0.99086 = 0.00875
So, percentage of women meeting the height requirement is 72.24%.
B)For women;
Z = (62 - 63.7)/2.9 = - 0.59
Z = (78 - 63.7)/2.9 = 4.93
The original question cam be framed as;
P(62 < X < 78).
So thus, the probability of only women will take the form of;
P(-0.59 < Z < 4.93) = P(Z<4.93) - P(Z > - 0.59)
From the normal probability table attached, when we interpolate, we'll arrive at P(Z<4.93) = 0.9999996
And P(Z > - 0.59) = 0.277595
Thus;
P(Z<4.93) - P(Z > - 0.59) =0.9999996 - 0.277595 = 0.00875
So, percentage of women meeting the height requirement is 0.875%
C) Since the height requirements are changed to exclude the tallest 10% of men and the shortest10% of women.
For women;
Let's find the z-value with a right-tail of 10%. From the second table i attached ;
invNorm(0.90) = 1.2816
Thus, the corresponding women's height:: x = (1.2816 x 2.9) + 63.7= 67.42 inches
For men;
We have seen that,
invNorm(0.90) = 1.2816
Thus ;
Thus, the corresponding men's height:: x = (1.2816 x 2.8) + 68.6 = 72.19 inches
Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
First, we need to isolate by taking it common from both terms on the right:
Now, since we want in terms of the other variables, we can divide the left hand side (A) by whatever is multiplied with
on the right hand side. Then we will have an expression for
