Question 1179294: In the country of United States of Heightlandia, the height measurements of ten-year-old children are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 53.6 inches, and standard deviation of 2.8 inches.
A) What is the probability that a randomly chosen child has a height of less than 49 inches? (Round to 3 decimal places.)
B) What is the probability that a randomly chosen child has a height of more than 48.8 inches? (Round to 3 decimal places.)

Hi
Distribution: normal with µ = 53.6 and σ = 2.8
Chose 1
Continuous Curve
Using TI or similarly an inexpensive calculator like an Casio fx-115 ES plus

P( x < 49) =  P( x ≤ 49) = normalcdf(-9999,49,53.6,2.8) = .0502
P( x > 48.8) = normalcdf(48.8, 9999,53.6,2.8) = .9568
Wish You the Best in your Studies.
