Question 1011627: Con somebody help?
A survey found that women's heights are normally distributed with mean 63.6 in and standard deviation 2.3 in. A branch of the military requires women's heights to be between 58 in and 80 in.
a. Find the percentage of women meeting the height requirement. Are many women being denied the opportunity to join this branch of the military because they are too short or too tall?
b. If this branch of the military changes the height requirements so that all women are eligible except the shortest 1% and the tallest 2%, what are the new height requirements?
a. The percentage of women who meet the height requirement is
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
Are many women being denied the opportunity to join this branch of the military because they are too short or too tall?
A.
No, because the percentage of women who meet the height requirement is fairly small.
B.
Yes, because the percentage of women who meet the height requirement is fairly large.
C.
Yes, because a large percentage of women are not allowed to join this branch of the military because of their height.
D.
No, because only a small percentage of women are not allowed to join this branch of the military because of their height.
b. For the new height requirements, this branch of the military requires women's heights to be at least ___ in and at most ___ in.
(Round to one decimal place as needed.)

A survey found that women's heights are normally distributed with mean 63.6 in and standard deviation 2.3 in. A branch of the military requires women's heights to be between 58 in and 80 in.
a. Find the percentage of women meeting the height requirement.
Using the z-scores you would get normalcdf(58,80,63.6,2.3) = 99.26%

b. If this branch of the military changes the height requirements so that all women are eligible except the shortest 1% and the tallest 2%, what are the new height requirements?
invNorm(0.01) = -2.3265 ; invNorm(0.98) = 2.0538
Lower: x = -2.3265*2.3 + 63.6
Upper: x = +2.0538*2.3 + 63.6
a. The percentage of women who meet the height requirement is
Comment: You just eliminated 1% of the shortes and 2% of the tallest.
