A survey found that women's heights are normally distributed with mean
a. Find the percentage of men meeting the height requirement. What does the result suggest about the genders of the people who are employed as characters at the amusement park?
The percentage of men who meet the height requirement is
Step 1 :Given that the mean height for men is 67.3 inches with a standard deviation of 3.3 inches, we need to find the percentage of men whose height falls within the range of 55 to 62 inches.
Step 2 :We calculate the z-scores for these heights using the formula
Step 3 :For the minimum height of 55 inches, the z-score is calculated as
Step 4 :For the maximum height of 62 inches, the z-score is calculated as
Step 5 :We then find the area under the normal distribution curve between these z-scores using the cumulative distribution function (CDF) for a normal distribution. This gives us the percentage of men who meet the height requirement.
Step 6 :The percentage is calculated to be approximately 5.40%.
Step 7 :
