the empirical rule states that for bell-shaped distributions, about 68% of the values fall within 1 standard deviation of the mean. the heights of women at a large university are approximately bell-shaped, with a mean of 65 inches and standard deviation of 2.5 inches. use this information to answer the questions.(a) what is the probability that a randomly selected woman from this university is 67.5 inches or taller? (give the answer to two decimal places.)

Respuesta :

Thus the probability that a randomly selected woman from this university is 67.5 inches or taller is 0.16

Let x be the height of the woman. Mean height of women μ = 65 inches

Standard deviation σ = 2.5 inches

By theorem if X ~ N( 65 , 2.5² )

then normal distribution Z = X - μ / σ ~ N(0,1)

68% of women have a height that falls within 1 standard deviation of the mean. That is P ( 62.5 ≤X ≤ 67.5) = 0.68

From symmetry and using probability, we can find the area under the bell-shaped curve for this interval. This area to the right of 67.5 under the bell-shaped curve ultimately gives us that the probability a randomly selected woman from the university is 67.5 inches or taller. This probability = 0.16
