1. If the mean height of a women in the U.S.(20-29) is 64.0 and the standard deviation is 2.8.... What is the height that seperates the bottom 20% of women from the top 80% of women? (show standard normal graph with z-scores).
\n" ); document.write( "---------
\n" ); document.write( "Find the z-score that corresponds to the bottom 20% of the area under the curve:
\n" ); document.write( "Use InVNorm if you have a TI calculator
\n" ); document.write( "InvNorm(0.20)= -0.841621
\n" ); document.write( "Now find the raw score or \"x-score\" corresponding to the z-score:
\n" ); document.write( "-0.841621 = (x-64)/2.8
\n" ); document.write( "x-64= -2.356539
\n" ); document.write( "x = 61.64 inches
\n" ); document.write( "===========

\n" ); document.write( "2. A random sample of 41 men were measured in height. If the mean height was 69.6 with a standard deviation of 2.426 find the 99% confidence interval for the population mean. Assume that the population standard deviation is unknown. Also assume the heights are approximately normally distributed. Round off your final answer to 2 decimal places.
\n" ); document.write( "-------
\n" ); document.write( "E=z*(sigma/sqrt(n))
\n" ); document.write( "E=2.575829303(2.426/sqrt(41)=0.9759238861
