Assume that the heights of American men are normally distributed with a mean of 69.0 inches and a standard deviation of 2.8 inches. The U.S. Marine Corps requires that men have heights between 64 and 78 inches. Find the percent of men meeting these height requirements.

A) 31.12%
B) 99.93%
C) 3.67%

Answer:

The percent of men heights between 64 and 78 inches = 96.22
\%

Explanation:

Given -

Mean height
\boldsymbol{(\\u)} = 69.0

Standard deviation
\boldsymbol{(\sigma )} = 2.8

Let X be the height of american man

The percent of men heights between 64 and 78 inches =


\mathbf{P(64\leq X \leq 78)} =
P(( 64 - 69)/(2.8)\leq (X - \\u )/(\sigma)\leq ( 78 - 69)/(2.8))

=
P(( - 5)/(2.8)\leq Z \leq ( 9)/(2.8)) Put [
\mathbf{Z = (X - \\u )/(\sigma)}]

=
P(- 1.785 \leq Z \leq 3.214) Using z table

= 0.9993 - .0370

= .9622

= 96.22
\%
