Question 1134843: Suppose the height in inches of adult males in the united states are normally distributed with a mean of 72 inches and a standard deviation of 2 inches. Find the percent of men wh are between 70 and 72 inches tall? Answer by rothauserc(4718) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! The mean is 72 inches this corresponds to 50% below 72 inches
:
z-score(70) = (70 - 72)/2 = -1
:
a z-score of -1 corresponds to 15.87% less that 70
:
********************************************************************
Probability of men between 70 and 72 inches = 50.00 - 15.87 = 34.13%
