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 \(z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}\), where \(X\) is the value, \(\mu\) is the mean, and \(\sigma\) is the standard deviation.
Step 3 :For the minimum height of 55 inches, the z-score is calculated as \(z_{min} = \frac{55 - 67.3}{3.3} = -3.73\).
Step 4 :For the maximum height of 62 inches, the z-score is calculated as \(z_{max} = \frac{62 - 67.3}{3.3} = -1.61\).
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 :\(\boxed{5.40\%}\) of men meet the height requirement. This suggests that a small percentage of men meet the height requirements to be employed as characters at the amusement park, implying that the majority of the characters are likely to be women.
