Question

A​ half-century ago, the mean height of women in a particular country in their 20s was inches. Assume that the heights of​ today's women in their 20s are approximately normally distributed with a standard deviation of inches. If the mean height today is the same as that of a​ half-century ago, what percentage of all samples of of​ today's women in their 20s have mean heights of at least ​inches?

Answer 1

0.26684

Explanation:

Given that :

Mean, μ = 62.5

Standard deviation, σ = 1.96

P(Z ≥ 63.72)

The Zscore = (x - μ) / σ

P(Z ≥ (x - μ) / σ)

P(Z ≥ (63.72 - 62.5) / 1. 96) = P(Z ≥ 0.6224)

P(Z ≥ 0.6224) = 1 - P(Z < 0.6224)

1 - P(Z < 0.6224) = 1 - 0.73316 = 0.26684
