Answer:

<em>About 160 people weigh more than 165 pounds. </em>

Step-by-step explanation:

The measured weights of 1,000 men in a certain village follow a normal distribution with a mean of 150 pounds and a standard deviation of 15 pounds.

We know that,

z=\dfrac{X-\mu}{\sigma}

where,

X = raw score = 165

μ = mean = 150

σ = standard deviation = 15

Putting the values,

z=\dfrac{165-150}{15}=\dfrac{15}{15}=1

Finding the value of probability for z=1, from z score table,

P(z

Hence, 84% of total men will weigh less than 165 pounds. So 16% of men will be more than 165 pounds, i.e

1000\times \dfrac{16}{100}=160

Z = (X-Mean)/SD 
<span>z1 = (165 - 150)/15 = +1 </span>
<span>z2 = (135 - 150)/15 = - 1 </span>
<span>According to the Empirical Rule 68-95-99.7 </span>
<span>Mean +/- 1SD covers 68% of the values </span>
<span>100% - 68% = 32% </span>
<span>The remaining 32% is equally distributed below z = - 1 and z = +1 </span>
<span>32%/2 = 16% 
</span>
<span>Therefore, 
</span>
<span>a) Number of men weighing more than 165 pounds = 16% of 1000 = 160 </span>
<span>b) Number of men weighing less than 135 pounds = 16% of 1000 = 160</span>
