Answer:
a) 0.64
b) -1.13
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following information in the question:
Women:
Mean, μ = 64.2 inches
Standard Deviation, σ = 2.8 inches
We are given that the distribution of heights of women is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.
Men:
Mean, μ = 69.4 inches
Standard Deviation, σ = 3.0 inches
We are given that the distribution of heights of men is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.
Formula:

5.5 feet = 66 inches
a) z‑score for a woman 5.5 feet tall

b) z‑score for a man 5.5 feet tall

So theyre trying to scare you in this question by giving you the zeros to an already existing function. Basically if x = 1, than the reverse function of this is (x-1)
using that, we can say that the zero or "root" "-2" is equal to (x+2)same with 3, we can say (x-3)= x = 3 and with five, (x-5)= x = 5
so, we have those functions, we can multiply them to eachother to work backwards.(x+2)(x-3)(x-5) =(x^2-x-9)(x-5) =x^3 - 6x^2 - 4x + 45
please ask if you have questions
So you would do 3/4 * 16/9 = 48/46 or 1 2/46 or 1 1/23
