Answer:

The interval (meassured in Inches) that represent the middle 80% of the heights is [64.88, 75.12]

Step-by-step explanation:

I beleive those options corresponds to another question, i will ignore them. We want to know an interval in which the probability that a height falls there is 0.8.

In such interval, the probability that a value is higher than the right end of the interval is (1-0.8)/2 = 0.1

If X is the distribuition of heights, then we want z such that P(X > z) = 0.1. We will take W, the standarization of X, wth distribution N(0,1)

W = \frac{X-\mu}{\sigma} = \frac{X-70}{4}

The values of the cumulative distribution function of W, denoted by \phi , can be found in the attached file. Lets call y = \frac{z-70}{4} . We have

0.1 = P(X > z) = P(\frac{X-70}{4} > \frac{z-70}{4}) = P(W > y) = 1-\phi(y)

Thus

\phi(y) = 1-0.1 = 0.9

by looking at the table, we find that y = 1.28, therefore

\frac{z-70}{4} = 1.28\\z = 1.28*4+70 = 75.12

The other end of the interval is the symmetrical of 75.12 respect to 70, hence it is 70- (75.12-70) = 64.88.

The interval (meassured in Inches) that represent the middle 80% of the heights is [64.88, 75.12] .
