Question

How many

Assume that the mean hecaht of soldiers is 166cm
with a standard deration of 8. cm.
soldeers in a regiment of 1000 would you expect to
be over 177 cm tall.

Answer 1

85

Explanation:

Given that :

Mean height , μ = 166

Standard deviation, σ = 8

Sample size, n = 1000

Using the Zscore formula :

Zscore = (x - μ) / σ

x = 177

Z = (177 - 166) / 8

Z = 1.375

P(Z > 1.375) = 0.084566(Area to the right of Z)

P(Z > 1.375) * n

0.084566 * 1000 = 84.566 = 85 soldiers
