. Explain what it means to say that a variable (e.g. height) is normally distributed. What 3 claims can you make about the variable?
Homework Answers
From the given
Variable is normally distributed means population distribution of the variable is normal.
The histogram of the variable shows bell shaped pattern.
The pattern of the distribution is symmetric about mean.
3 claims about normal random variable

Find a statistic that is expected to be normally distributed (e.g. height of adult men). Sample 30 people regarding their value related to this statistic (e.g. ask them “How tall are you?”) and record your results. Sampling 30 people is not optional. You must have at least 30 values of the statistic you choose. Use StatCrunch to create a histogram of your results. Post the question you asked and the histogram you created. Are your results normally distributed? Why or...

The height of women ages 20-29 is normally distributed, with a mean of 64.4 inches. Assume σ=2.4 inches. Are you more likely to randomly select 1 woman with a height less than 66.5 inches or are you more likely to select a sample of 15 women with a mean height less than 66.5 inches? Explain. (a) What is the probability of randomly selecting 1 woman with a height less than 66.5 inches?
