Using the normal distribution, it is found that:
a) The pilot is at the 72th percentile.
b) 19.13% of pilots are unable to fly.
<h3>Normal Probability Distribution</h3>The z-score of a measure X of a normally distributed variable with mean and standard deviation
is given by:
- The z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is above or below the mean.
- Looking at the z-score table, the p-value associated with this z-score is found, which is the percentile of X.
The mean and the standard deviation are given, respectively, by:
.
Item a:
The percentile is the <u>p-value of Z when X = 74.2</u>, hence:
Z = 0.59
Z = 0.59 has a p-value of 0.7224.
72th percentile.
Item b:
The proportion that is able to fly is the <u>p-value of Z when X = 78 subtracted by the p-value of Z when X = 70</u>, hence:
X = 78:
Z = 2
Z = 2 has a p-value of 0.9772.
X = 70:
Z = -0.96
Z = -0.96 has a p-value of 0.1685.
0.9772 - 0.1685 = 0.8087 = 80.87%.
Hence the percentage that is unable to fly is:
100 - 80.87 = 19.13%.
