Question

Heights of adult males are normally distributed. if a large sample of heights of adult males is randomly selected and the heights are illustrated in a​ histogram, what is the shape of that​ histogram?

Answer 1

Explanation:

Given that heights of adult males are normally distributed.

Hence when a large sample of heights of adult males is randomly selected and the heights are illustrated in a​ histogram, we can expect this to follow a normal distribution again.

So histogram would resemble that of a normal distribution curve

So it would be

i) bell shaped

ii) symmetrical about the mean

iii) mean = median = mode

iv) unimodal

v) More than 99% lie between 3 std deviations on either side of the mean.

Answer 2

With the heights of adult males normally distributed, and a large sample of same heights of adult males randomly selected and illustrated in a histogram, the shape of that histogram will be symmetric and unimodal, or what is called a bell-shaped curve for a normal distribution.
