Answer:
(a) The probability that a study participant has a height that is less than 67 inches is 0.4013.
(b) The probability that a study participant has a height that is between 67 and 71 inches is 0.5586.
(c) The probability that a study participant has a height that is more than 71 inches is 0.0401.
(d) The event in part (c) is an unusual event.
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>The complete question is:</u> In a survey of a group of men, the heights in the 20-29 age group were normally distributed, with a mean of 67.5 inches and a standard deviation of 2.0 inches. A study participant is randomly selected. Complete parts (a) through (d) below. (a) Find the probability that a study participant has a height that is less than 67 inches. The probability that the study participant selected at random is less than inches tall is nothing. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) (b) Find the probability that a study participant has a height that is between 67 and 71 inches. The probability that the study participant selected at random is between and inches tall is nothing. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) (c) Find the probability that a study participant has a height that is more than 71 inches. The probability that the study participant selected at random is more than inches tall is nothing. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) (d) Identify any unusual events. Explain your reasoning. Choose the correct answer below.
We are given that the heights in the 20-29 age group were normally distributed, with a mean of 67.5 inches and a standard deviation of 2.0 inches.
Let X = <u><em>the heights of men in the 20-29 age group</em></u>
The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;
Z = ~ N(0,1)
where, = population mean height = 67.5 inches
= standard deviation = 2 inches
So, X ~ Normal()
(a) The probability that a study participant has a height that is less than 67 inches is given by = P(X < 67 inches)
P(X < 67 inches) = P( <
) = P(Z < -0.25) = 1 - P(Z
0.25)
= 1 - 0.5987 = <u>0.4013</u>
The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 0.25 in the z table which has an area of 0.5987.
(b) The probability that a study participant has a height that is between 67 and 71 inches is given by = P(67 inches < X < 71 inches)
P(67 inches < X < 71 inches) = P(X < 71 inches) - P(X 67 inches)
P(X < 71 inches) = P( <
) = P(Z < 1.75) = 0.9599
P(X 67 inches) = P(
) = P(Z
-0.25) = 1 - P(Z < 0.25)
= 1 - 0.5987 = 0.4013
The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.75 and x = 0.25 in the z table which has an area of 0.9599 and 0.5987 respectively.
Therefore, P(67 inches < X < 71 inches) = 0.9599 - 0.4013 = <u>0.5586</u>.
(c) The probability that a study participant has a height that is more than 71 inches is given by = P(X > 71 inches)
P(X > 71 inches) = P( >
) = P(Z > 1.75) = 1 - P(Z
1.75)
= 1 - 0.9599 = <u>0.0401</u>
The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.75 in the z table which has an area of 0.9599.
(d) The event in part (c) is an unusual event because the probability that a study participant has a height that is more than 71 inches is less than 0.05.
Answer:
.
Step-by-step explanation:
We have been given an inequality and we are asked to solve our given inequality.
Let us add 1.5 to both sides of our inequality.
Upon using definition of absolute value function we can write our absolute function as:
Upon combining our ranges we will get,
Therefore, our inequality solves to .
