Question 870674: the heights of male basketball players at Kentucky college are normally distributed with a mean of 6 feet and 3 inches and a standard deviation of 3 inches. is this true or false and explain Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
Hi
For the normal distribution:
one standard deviation from the mean accounts for about 68% of the set
two standard deviations from the mean account for about 95%
and three standard deviations from the mean account for about 99.7%.
mean of 6 feet and 3 inches and a standard deviation of 3
this would statistically say:
95% of the Team are between 5'9" and 6'9"
