Question 1178932: Five hundred children participated in a field demonstration. Their heights averaged 110 cm with a standard deviation of 6 cm.
2.1 What is the probability that a child, picked at random, has a height greater
than 116 cm?
2.What is the probability that a child picked, random has a height less than 104 cm ?
3.how many children belong to the upper 15% of the group?

Hi
Normal distribution: µ = 110 and σ = 6
n = 500
continuous curve:
P(x >116)
Using TI or similarly an inexpensive calculator like a Casio fx-115 ES plus
P(x >116) = 1 - normalcdf(116, 9999, 110, 6) = .1587 0r 15.87%
how many children belong to the upper 15% of the group? .15*500 = 75
Wish You the Best in your Studies.
