In Exercises 13鈥20, use the data in the table below for sitting adult males and females (based on anthropometric survey data from Gordon, Churchill, et al.). These data are used often in the design of different seats, including aircraft seats, train seats, theater seats, and classroom seats. (Hint: Draw a graph in each case.)

Find the probability that a female has a back-to-knee length greater than 24.0 in.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The probability that a female has a back-to-knee length greater than 24 in. is 0.0968.

Step by step solution

01

Given information

The data for sitting back-to-knee length for adult males and females are provided.

02

Describe the distribution

Let Y represent the female back-to-knee length.

Thus,

Y~N,2~N22.7,1.02

The back-to-knee length of females is 24 in.

Steps to make a normal curve are as follows:

1. Make a horizontal and vertical axis.

2. Mark the points 20, 22, 24, and 26 on the horizontal axis and points 0.1, 0.2, 0.3, and 0.4.

2. Provide titles to the horizontal and vertical axis as 鈥測鈥 and 鈥渇(y),鈥 respectively.

4. Shade the region right of 24.

The area under the curve has a one-to-one correspondence with the probabilities.

The shaded region represents the probability that the back-to-knee length is greater than 24.0 in.

03

Compute the z-score

The z score is computed as:

z=y-=24-22.71=1.3

Therefore, the z score is 1.30.

By using the standard normal table, the area to the left of 1.30 is obtained from the table in the intersection cell with row value 1 and the column value 0.30, which is obtained as 0.9032.

04

Compute the probability

The probability that a female has a back-to-knee length greater than 24 in. is computed as:

PX>24.0=Pz>1.30=1-Pz<1.30=1-0.9032=0.0968

Thus, the probability that a female has a back-to-knee length greater than 24 in. is 0.0968.

Standard Normal DistributionIn Exercises 17鈥36, assume that a randomly selected subject is given a bone density test. Those 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 probability of the given bone density test scores. If using technology instead of Table A-2, round answers

to four decimal places.

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).

Instead of using 0.05 for identifying significant values, use the criteria that a value x is significantly high if P(x or greater) 鈮 0.01 and a value is significantly low if P(x or less) 鈮 0.01. Find the back-to-knee lengths for males, separating significant values from those that are not significant. Using these criteria, is a male back-to-knee length of 26 in. significantly high?
