Question

Please answer question D and give your logic. Don't use excel.

The average height of an adult male in the U. S. is 69.5 inches with a standard deviation of 2 inches. a) Sketch the normal curve and fill in the standard deviation numbers and percentages for the scenario above. Use the diagram to answer questions b-f. b) What percentage of adult US men have a height that is between 2 standard deviations below the mean and 1 standard deviation above the mean? c) What percentage of adult US men have a height that is between 65.5" and 71.5"? d) What percentage of adult US men have a height that is less than 67.5 inches? e) What percentage of adult US men have a height that is between 71.5" and 75.5 "? In a group of 90 adult US men, how many would you expect to be between 71.5" and 75.5" tall? f) What percentage of adult US men have a height that is between 65.5 and 69.5 inches? In a group of 90 adult US men: how many would you expect to be between 65.5 and 69.5 inches tall?

Explanation / Answer

d. Here mean=69.5 and sd=2

We need to find P(x<67.5) as this is normal we will convert x to z

z=x-mean/sd=67.5-69.5/2=-1

So P(z<-1)=0.5+P(0<z<-1)=0.5-0.3413=0.1587

Which means 15.87% have height less than 67.5
