Assume that the population of heights of female college students is approximately normally distributed with mean m of 64 inches and standard deviation s of 4.00 inches. Show all work.
(A) Find the proportion of female college students whose height is greater than 62 inches.
----
z(62) = (62-64)/4 = -1/2
P(x > 62) = P(z > -1/2) = 0.6915
--------------------------------------
(B) Find the proportion of female college students whose height is no more than 62 inches.
Ans: 1-0.6915 = 0.3085
