Question 922802: Assume that heights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 69.0 in. and a standard deviation of 2.8 in. The standard casket has an inside length of 78 in. A manufacturer of caskets wants to reduce production costs by making smaller caskets. What inside length would fit all men expect the tallest 1%? Answer by ewatrrr(24785) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! Population: mean of 69.0 in. and a standard deviation of 2.8 in
z = invNorm(.99) = 2.326
2.326(2.8) + 69 = X = 75.5
What inside length would fit all men expect the tallest 1%: 75" rounded
