Answer:
Hip breadths less than or equal to 16.1 in. includes 90% of the males.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given the following information in the question:
Mean, μ = 14.5
Standard Deviation, σ = 1.2
We are given that the distribution of hip breadths is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.
Formula:
We have to find the value of x such that the probability is 0.10.
P(X > x)
Calculation the value from standard normal z table, we have,
Hence, hip breadth of 16.1 in. separates the smallest 90% from the largest 10%.
That is hip breaths greater than 16.1 in. lies in the larger 10%.
