Answer:
68
Step-by-step explanation:
We let the random variable X denote the height of students of the college. Therefore, X is normally distributed with a mean of 175 cm and a standard deviation of 5 centimeters.
We are required to determine the percent of students who are between 170 centimeters and 180 centimeters in height.
This can be expressed as;
P(170<X<180)
This can be evaluated in Stat-Crunch using the following steps;
In stat crunch, click Stat then Calculators and select Normal
In the pop-up window that appears click Between
Input the value of the mean as 175 and that of the standard deviation as 5
Then input the values 170 and 180
click compute
Stat-Crunch returns a probability of approximately 68%
