In Exercises 21鈥24, use these parameters (based on Data Set 1 鈥淏ody Data鈥 in Appendix B):鈥⑩侻en鈥檚鈥俬eights鈥俛re鈥俷ormally鈥俤istributed鈥倃ith鈥俶ean鈥68.6鈥俰n.鈥俛nd鈥俿tandard鈥俤eviation鈥2.8鈥俰n.鈥⑩俉omen鈥檚 heights are normally distributed with mean 63.7 in. and standard deviation 2.9 in. Executive Jet Doorway the Gulfstream 100 is an executive jet that seats six, and it has a doorway height of 51.6 in.
a. What percentage of adult men can fit through the door without bending?
b. Does the door design with a height of 51.6 in. appear to be adequate? Why didn鈥檛 the engineers design a larger door?
c. What doorway height would allow 40% of men to fit without bending?
Basis for the Range Rule of Thumb and the Empirical Rule. In Exercises 45鈥48, find the indicated area under the curve of the standard normal distribution; then convert it to a percentage and fill in the blank. The results form the basis for the range rule of thumb and the empirical rule introduced in Section 3-2.
About______ % of the area is between z = -1 and z = 1 (or within 1 standard deviation of the mean).
In Exercises 9鈥12, find the area of the shaded region. The graph depicts the standard normal distribution of bone density scores with mean 0 and standard deviation 1.
Blue Eyes Assume that 35% of us have blue eyes (based on a study by Dr. P. Soria at Indiana University).
a. Let B denote the event of selecting someone who has blue eyes. What does the event denote?
b. Find the value of P().
c. Find the probability of randomly selecting three different people and finding that all of them have blue eyes.
d. Find the probability that among 100 randomly selected people, at least 40 have blue eyes.
e. If 35% of us really do have blue eyes, is a result of 40 people with blue eyes among 100 randomly selected people a result that is significantly high?
Finding Bone Density Scores. In Exercises 37鈥40 assume that a randomly selected subject is given a bone density test. Bone density test scores are normally distributed with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. In each case, draw a graph, then find the bone density test score corresponding to the given information. Round results to two decimal places.
Find P10, the 10th percentile. This is the bone density score separating the bottom 10% from the top 90%.
