Answer:

The 99th percentile for a man’s arm span is 80.47 inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Problems of normally distributed samples can be solved using the z-score formula.

In a set with mean \mu and standard deviation \sigma, the zscore of a measure X is given by:

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the pvalue, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.

In this problem, we have that:

\mu = 70, \sigma = 4.5

99th percentile

X when Z has a pvalue of 0.99. So X when Z = 2.327.

Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}

2.327 = \frac{X - 70}{4.5}

X - 70 = 2.327*4.5

X = 80.47

The 99th percentile for a man’s arm span is 80.47 inches.

Answer:

See below.

Step-by-step explanation:

An outlier can affect the mean by a lot.  For example, if my neighbor moves out and Bill Gates moves in (he would be a <u>super</u> outlier!), the mean annual income would increase enormously.

The median, on the other hand, would not change at all.  The income in the middle is still the income in the middle; Gates' income would not budge the median.
