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

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.

In Exercises 9鈥12, find the area of the shaded region. The graph depicts the standard normal distribution of bone density scores with mean 0 and standard deviation 1.

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.)
