It is known that the height (X) of females in a certain country is normally distributed with mean μ = 1600 millimeters (mms) and standard deviation σ = 63 mms. Use the normal distribution to calculate the proportion of females who are at least 1553 and at most 1621 millimeters tall, i.e. P( 1553 < X < 1621 ) Answer to four decimal place.
P ( 1553 < X < 1621 )
Standardizing the value
Z = ( 1553 - 1600 ) / 63
Z = -0.75
Z = ( 1621 - 1600 ) / 63
Z = 0.33
P ( -0.75 < Z < 0.33 )
P ( 1553 < X < 1621 ) = P ( Z < 0.33 ) - P ( Z < -0.75
)
P ( 1553 < X < 1621 ) = 0.6306 - 0.2278
P ( 1553 < X < 1621 ) = 0.4027

It is known that the height (X) of females in a certain country is normally distributed with mean μ = 1600 millimeters (mms) and standard deviation σ = 55 mms. Use the normal distribution to estimate the 88th percentile of this population, i.e. find the cutpoint " k " so that percent population at most " k " mms tall is 88 percent. Answer to one decimal place.
1. The distribution of heights of adult females: We assume that height is normally distributed with a population mean of 65 inches and a population standard deviation of 4 inches. 2. The distribution of heights of adult males: We assume that height is normally distributed with a population mean of 70 inches and a population standard deviation of 5 inches. a. Above what Z-score value does 2.5% of the normal distribution fall? Using the formula for Z-scores and the Z-score...
The weight X of babies (of a fixed age) is normally distributed with mean μ = 212 ounces and standard deviation σ = 25 ounces. Doctors would also be concerned (not necessarily alarmed) if a baby is among the upper 10 percent in weight. Find the cut-off weight u, above which the doctors will be concerned. The weight X of salmon caught in a river is normally distributed with mean μ = 24 pounds and standard deviation σ = 6...
Let X represent the full height of a certain species of tree. Assume that X has a normal probability distribution with μ=24.7 ft and σ=54 ft. You intend to measure a random sample of n=229 trees. What is the mean of the distribution of sample means? μ¯x= What is the standard deviation of the distribution of sample means (i.e., the standard error in estimating the mean)? (Report answer accurate to 2 decimal places.) σ¯x=
Let X represent the full height of a certain species of tree. Assume that X has a normal probability distribution with μ = 148.6 ft and σ = 67.9 ft. You intend to measure a random sample of n = 193 trees. What is the mean of the distribution of sample means? μ ¯ x = What is the standard deviation of the distribution of sample means (i.e., the standard error in estimating the mean)? (Report answer accurate to 2...
A random sample is drawn from a normally distributed population with mean μ = 24 and standard deviation σ = 1.6. a. Are the sampling distribution of the sample mean with n = 32 and n = 63 normally distributed? Yes, both the sample means will have a normal distribution. No, both the sample means will not have a normal distribution. No, only the sample mean with n = 32 will have a normal distribution. No, only the sample mean...
