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, theatre seats, and classroom seats. (Hint: Draw a graph in each case.)

Find the probability that a male has a back-to-knee length between 22.0 in. and 24.0 in.

Short Answer

Expert verified

The probability that a male has a back-to-knee length between 22.0 in. and 24.0 in. is 0.5867.

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 X represent the male back-to-knee length.

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.

3. Provide titles to the horizontal and vertical axes as 鈥渪鈥 and 鈥渇(x),鈥 respectively.

4. Shade the region in between 22 and 24.

The area between 22.0 and 24.0 is equal to the probability of getting the length between 22.0 and 24.0.

The probability has a one-to-one correspondence with the area of the curve represented as P22.0<X<24.0.

03

Compute the z-score

The z-score corresponding tox1=22

z1=x1-=22-23.51.1=-1.36

Therefore, the z score is -1.36.

The z-score corresponding to y1=24,

z2=x2-=24-23.51.1=0.45

Therefore, the z score is 0.45.

04

Compute the probability

The area between the two z-scores is -1.36 and 0.45.

Mathematically,

Areabetween-1.36and0.45=Areatotheleftof0.45-Areatotheleftof-1.36=PZ<0.45-PZ<-1.36...1

Use the standard normal table,

  • the area to the left of 0.45 is obtained from the table in the intersection cell with row value 0.4 and the column value 0.05, which is obtained as 0.6736.
  • the area to the left of -1.36 is obtained from the table in the intersection cell with row value -1.3 and the column value 0.06, which is obtained as 0.0869.

Mathematically it is expressed as:

Areatotheleftof0.45=PZ<0.45=0.6736Areatotheleftof-1.36=PZ<-1.36=0.0869

Substitute the values in equation (1),the probability that a male has a back-to-knee length between 22.0 in. and 24.0 in. is given as:

Areabetween-1.36and0.45=0.6736-0.0869=0.5867

Therefore, the probability that a male has a back-to-knee length between 22.0 in. and 24.0 in. is0.5867.

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.

If bone density scores in the bottom 2% and the top 2% are used as cutoff points for levels that are too low or too high, find the two readings that are cutoff values.

Continuous Uniform Distribution. In Exercises 5鈥8, refer to the continuous uniform distribution depicted in Figure 6-2 and described in Example 1. Assume that a passenger is randomly selected, and find the probability that the waiting time is within the given range.

Between 2 minutes and 3 minutes

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.

Between -2.55 and -2.00.

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 = -3.5 and z = 3.5 (or within 3.5 standard deviation of the mean).
