8.What is the probability of selecting someone who is 68 inches or taller?
I got z= .0000 but I am stuck on what to do next?
Answer by Boreal(15235) (Show Source): You can put this solution on YOUR website!
z=(x-mean)/sd
>(70-68)/5=2/5
probability z>(2/5) or 0.4 is 0.3446
-
fewer than 64 inches is a z=(64-68)/5 or -4/5 or -0.8
that probability is 0.2119, what you got for 6. It belongs here.
-
z=0. The probability z>0 is 50%
The probability z <0 is 50%
The probability z=0 is 0.
