The population of men at UMBC has a mean height of 69 inches with a standard deviation of 4 inches. The women at UMBC have a mean height of 65 inches with a standard deviation of 3 inches. A sample of 50 men and 40 women is selected. What is the probability that the sample mean of men heights is more than 5 inches greater than the sample mean of women heights

The probability that the sample mean of men heights is more than 5 inches greater than the sample mean of women heights is 0.0885.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that the population of men at UMBC has a mean height of 69 inches with a standard deviation of 4 inches. The women at UMBC have a mean height of 65 inches with a standard deviation of 3 inches.

A sample of 50 men and 40 women is selected.

The z-score probability distribution for the two-sample normal distribution is given by;

                          Z  =    ~ N(0,1)

where, = population mean height of men at UMBC = 69 inches

            = population mean height of women at UMBC = 65 inches

            = standard deviation of men at UMBC = 4 inches

            = standard deviation of women at UMBC = 3 inches

            = sample of men = 50

            = sample of women = 40

Now, the probability that the sample mean of men heights is more than 5 inches greater than the sample mean of women heights is given by = P( > 5 inches)

 P( > 5 inches) = P( > ) = P(Z > 1.35)

                                         = 1 - P(Z 1.35) = 1 - 0.9115 = 0.0885

The above probability is calculated by looking at the value of x = 1.35 in the z table which has an area of 0.9115.

//blooming serenity//

beautiful in the morning

mysterious at night

wonderous nature souring

with all it's mystical might

the flower that blooms

to the fox that looms

nocturnal creatures

with various features

a blooming flower soon in sight

as a new little hatchling fears to take flight  

afraid to leave it's calming nest,

but dear little bird, mother knows best

as sure as there are stars in the sky,

life is not about who, where what, when or why-

it's the journey that follows

adventures we swallow

of   nature's deep wonders,

natural disasters and storm's thunders.

blooming serenity

life and nature, truly is heavenly.
