3. A survey found that women’s heights are normally distributed
with a mean of 62.7 in. and standard deviation 2.7in. The survey
also found that men’s heights are normally distributed with a mean
68.1 in and a standard deviation of 2.66 in. Complete parts (a)
through (c) below.
Most of the life characters at an amusement park have height
requirements with a minimum of 4ft 7 in. and a maximum of 6ft 3
in.
a) Find the percentage of women meeting the height requirements.
Round to four decimal places.
b) Find the percentage of men that meet the requirements. Round
to two decimal places.
c) If the height requirements are changed to exclude only the
tallest 6% of men and the shortest 6% of women, that are the new
height requirements? Round to one decimal place.
4. Assume that women’s heights are normally distributed with a
mean given by µ = 62.5 in, and a standard
deviation given by σ = 2.2 in.
a) If 1 woman is randomly selected, find the probability that her
height is less than 64 in. Round to four decimal places.
b) If 10 women are randomly selected, find the probability that
they have a mean height less than 64 in. Round to four decimal
places.
