Assuming that the heights (X) of college male students is normally distributed with a mean of 69 inches and standard deviation of 3 inches, calculate the probability that
a. x is less than or equal to 65 inches
z(65) = (65-69)/3 = -4/3
P(x <= 65) = P(z <= -4/3) = normalcdf(-100,-4/3) = 0.0912
-------------------------------------------------------------------
b. x is greater than or equal to 65 inches but less than or equal to 70 inches
z(65) = -4/3
z(70) = (70-69)/3 = 1/3
---
P(65<= x <=70) = P(-4/3<= z <= 1/3) = normalcdf(-4/3,1/3) = 0.5393
