Data from the article "The Osteological Paradox: Problems inferring Prehistoric Health from Skeletal Samples" (Current Anthropol

ogy (1992):343-370) suggests that a reasonable model for the distribution of heights of 5-year old children (in centimeters) is N(100, 62) . Let the letter X represent the variable "height of 5-year old", and use this information to answer the following. Use 4 decimal places unless otherwise indicated.
(a) P(X > 89.2) =
(b) P(X < 109.78) =
(c) P(97 < X < 106) =
(d) P(X < 85.6 or X > 111.4) =
(e) P(X > 103) =
(f) P(X < 98.2) =
(g) P(100 < X < 124)=
(h) The middle 80% of all heights of 5 year old children fall between and . (Use 2 decimal places.)

Answer:

(a) P (X < 109.78) = 0.9484.

(b) P (X < 109.78) = 0.9484.

(c) P (97 < X < 106) = 0.5328.

(d) P (X < 85.6 or X > 111.4) = 0.0369.

(e) P (X > 103) = 0.3085.

(f) P (X < 98.2) = 0.3821.

(g) P (100 < X < 124) = 0.5000.

(h) The middle 80% of all heights of 5 year old children fall between 92.31 and 107.70.

Step-by-step explanation:

It is provided that <em>X</em> follows a Normal distribution with mean, <em>μ</em> = 100 and standard deviation, <em>σ</em> = 6.

(a)

Compute the value of P (X > 89.2) as follows:

P (X>89.2)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{89.2-100}{6})\\=P(Z>-1.80)\\=P(Z

Thus, the value of P (X > 89.2) is 0.9641.

(b)

Compute the value of P (X < 109.78) as follows:

P (X

Thus, the value of P (X < 109.78) is 0.9484.

(c)

Compute the value of P (97 < X < 106) as follows;

P (97 < X < 106) = P (X < 106) - P (X < 97)

                          =P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

Thus, the value of P (97 < X < 106) is 0.5328.

(d)

Compute the value of P (X < 85.6 or X > 111.4) as follows;

P (X < 85.6 or X > 111.4) = P (X < 85.6) + P (X > 111.4)

                                       =P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}\frac{111.4-100}{6})\\=P(Z1.9)\\=0.0082+0.0287\\=0.0369

Thus, the value of P (X < 85.6 or X > 111.4) is 0.0369.

(e)

Compute the value of P (X > 103) as follows:

P (X>103)=P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}>\frac{103-100}{6})\\=P(Z>0.50)\\=14-P(Z

Thus, the value of P (X > 103) is 0.3085.

(f)

Compute the value of P (X < 98.2) as follows:

P (X

Thus, the value of P (X < 98.2) is 0.3821.

(g)

Compute the value of P (100 < X < 124) as follows;

P (100< X < 124) = P (X < 124) - P (X < 100)

                          =P(\frac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

Thus, the value of P (100 < X < 124) is 0.5000.

(h)

Compute the value of <em>x</em>₁ and <em>x</em>₂ as follows if P (<em>x</em>₁ < X < <em>x</em>₂) = 0.80 as follows:

P(X_{1}

The value of <em>z</em> is ± 1.282.

The value of <em>x</em>₁ and <em>x</em>₂ are:

-z=\frac{x_{1}-\mu}{\sigma} \\-1.282=\frac{x_{1}-100}{6}\\x_{1}=100-(6\times1.282)\\=92.308\\\approx92.31       z=\frac{x_{2}-\mu}{\sigma} \\1.282=\frac{x_{2}-100}{6}\\x_{2}=100+(6\times1.282)\\=107.692\\\approx107.70

Thus, the middle 80% of all heights of 5 year old children fall between 92.31 and 107.70.
