Answer:
The probability that an 18-year-old man selected at random is greater than 65 inches tall is 0.8413.
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given that the heights of 18-year-old men are approximately normally distributed with mean 68 inches and a standard deviation of 3 inches.
Let X = <u><em>heights of 18-year-old men.</em></u>
So, X ~ Normal()
The z-score probability distribution for the normal distribution is given by;
Z = ~ N(0,1)
where, = mean height = 68 inches
= standard deviation = 3 inches
Now, the probability that an 18-year-old man selected at random is greater than 65 inches tall is given by = P(X > 65 inches)
P(X > 65 inches) = P( >
) = P(Z > -1) = P(Z < 1)
= <u>0.8413</u>
The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1 in the z table which has an area of 0.8413.
Try to understand this. Hope this help. Answer for 2 only.
