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?
Short Answer
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.
