Assume that women's heights are normally distributed with a mean given by mu equals 63.4 in, and a standard deviation given by sigma equals 2.7 in. (a) if 1 woman is randomly selected, find the probability that her height is less than 64 in. (b) if 48 women are randomly selected, find the probability that they have a mean height less than 64 in.

0.9895

Step-by-step explanation:

From the mean to the value of interest:  

63.0

−

62.4

=

0.6

inches

So the count of standard deviations beyond the  

mean of 63 is:  

0.6

2.8

So the all encompassing probability from the left for

step-by-step explanation:

from this example, we can see that subtracting with integers is the same as adding the opposite. we can solve using a number line or by using the saying "keep, change, change" to us solve. it is important to remember that we can subtract a negative and end up with a larger number than we started with.
