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.

Most popular questions from this chapter

Requirements A researcher collects a simple random sample of grade-point averages of statistics students, and she calculates the mean of this sample. Under what conditions can that sample mean be treated as a value from a population having a normal distribution?

In Exercises 7鈥10, use the same population of {4, 5, 9} that was used in Examples 2 and 5. As in Examples 2 and 5, assume that samples of size n = 2 are randomly selected with replacement.

Sampling Distribution of the Sample Median

a. Find the value of the population median.

b. Table 6-2 describes the sampling distribution of the sample mean. Construct a similar table representing the sampling distribution of the sample median. Then combine values of the median that are the same, as in Table 6-3. (Hint: See Example 2 on page 258 for Tables 6-2 and 6-3, which describe the sampling distribution of the sample mean.)

c. Find the mean of the sampling distribution of the sample median. d. Based on the preceding results, is the sample median an unbiased estimator of the population median? Why or why not?

Small Sample Weights of golden retriever dogs are normally distributed. Samples of weights of golden retriever dogs, each of size n = 15, are randomly collected and the sample means are found. Is it correct to conclude that the sample means cannot be treated as being from a normal distribution because the sample size is too small? Explain.

Using Normal Approximation. In Exercises 5鈥8, do the following: If the requirements of np5andnq5are both satisfied, estimate the indicated probability by using the normal distribution as an approximation to the binomial distribution; ifnp<5ornq<5, then state that the normal approximation should not be used.

Guessing on Standard TestsWith n= 50 guesses and p= 0.2 for a correct answer, findP(exactly 12 correct answers).

The area under the density curve that lies to the right of 15 is 0.324. What percentage of all possible observations of the variable

a. exceed 15 ?

b. are at most 15 ?
