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?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. 0.01% of adult men can fit through the door without bending. Most of the adult men cannot fit through the door with bending.

b. No. In the jet there is only 6 seats. It is relatively small. So, engineers didn鈥檛 design a large door.

c. The doorway height is 67.9 in.

Step by step solution

01

Given information 

The height requirements Men鈥檚 heights are normally distributed with mean 68.6 in., and standard deviation 2.8 in.

Doorway height is 51.6 in.

02

Describe the random variable

Let X be the random variable for height of men.

Then,

齿鈭糔,2鈭糔68.6,2.82

03

Compute the probability

a.

The z-score is the standardized score for a specific value computed as follows,

z=x-

Z-score associated to height 51.6 in is,

z=51.6-68.62.8=-6.0714

04

Compute the probability

From standard normal table, find the cumulative probabilities associated to z-score.

In standard normal table, the cumulative probability is obtained for z-score -6.07 corresponding to row -3.5 and less as 0.0001.

Thus,

PZ<-6.07=0.0001

The percentage of adult men can fit through the door without bending is 0.0001100=0.01%.

05

Analyze the door design

b.

The door design fits very less men and hence does not seem adequate to fit most men. The engineers may have not designed a larger door due only 6 seats in the jet and to maintain the efficiency of the built.

06

Determine the height of men

c.

Let x be the maximum height of men for shorted 40%, and z be the corresponding z-score.

Then,

PX<x=0.40PZ<z=0.40

From the standard normal table, the cumulative probability of 0.40 corresponds to row -0.2 and column 0.05, which implies the z-score of -0.25.

Thus, the required height is,

-0.25=x-68.62.8x=67.89in

Thus the doorway height of 68.9 in would fit 40% of men without bending.

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?

Significance For bone density scores that are normally distributed with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1, find the percentage of scores that are

a. significantly high (or at least 2 standard deviations above the mean).

b. significantly low (or at least 2 standard deviations below the mean).

c. not significant (or less than 2 standard deviations away from the mean).

Sampling Distribution of the Variance Repeat Exercise 11 using variances instead of means.

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).

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 -2.00 and 2.00.
