Biometric Security Standing eye heights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 64.3 in. and a standard deviation of 2.6 in. (based on anthropometric survey data from Gordon, Churchill, et al.).

a. If an eye recognition security system is positioned at a height that is uncomfortable for men with standing eye heights greater than 70 in., what percentage of men will find that height uncomfortable?

b. In positioning the eye recognition security system, we want it to be suitable for the tallest 98% of standing eye heights of men. What standing eye height of men separates the tallest 98% of standing eye heights from the lowest 2%?

Short Answer

Expert verified

a. The percentage of men who will find the height of the eye recognition system uncomfortable is equal to 1.43%.

b. The standing height of men that separates the tallest 98% of heights from the lowest 2% is equal to 59.0 inches.

Step by step solution

01

Given Information

It is given that the population of standing heights of men is normally distributed with a mean value equal to 64.3 inches and a standard deviation equal to 2.6 inches.Men with a standing height greater than 70 inches find the height of the eye recognition security system to be uncomfortable.

02

Conversion of sample value to z-score

Here, the population mean value is equal to =64.3.

The population standard deviation is equal to =2.6.

The sample value given is equal to x=70 inches.

The following formula is used to convert a given sample value (x=70) to a z-score:

z=x-=70-64.32.6=2.19

The required probability value can be computed using the value of z-score.

03

Required probability

a.

The probability of getting a standing height greater than 70 inches is computed using the standard normal table as:

Px>70=Pz>2.19=1-Pz<2.19=1-0.9857=0.0143

By converting the probability value to a percentage, the following value is obtained:

Percentage=0.0143100%=1.43%

Therefore, the percentage of men who will find the height of the eye recognition system uncomfortable is equal to 1.43%.

04

Conversion of probability value to z-score

b.

Let X denote the standing height of men.

Now, it is given that the positioning of the eye recognition system suits the tallest 98% of the men.

Thus, the value that separates the bottom of the men from the tallest of men has the following expression:

PZ>z=0.981-PZ<z=0.98PZ<z=1-0.98=0.02

The corresponding z-score for the left-tailed probability value equal to 0.02 is seen from the standard normal table and is approximately equal to -2.05.

Thus, Pz<-2.05=0.02.

05

Conversion of z-score to sample value

The value of the height corresponding to the z-score of -2.05 is computed below:

x=+z=64.3+-2.05(2.6)=58.9759.0

Therefore, the standing height of men that separates the tallest 98% of standing eye heights from the lowest 2% is equal to 59.0 inches.

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

Good Sample? A geneticist is investigating the proportion of boys born in the world population. Because she is based in China, she obtains sample data from that country. Is the resulting sample proportion a good estimator of the population proportion of boys born worldwide? Why or why not?

Low Birth Weight The University of Maryland Medical Center considers 鈥渓ow birth weights鈥 to be those that are less than 5.5 lb or 2495 g. Birth weights are normally distributed with a mean of 3152.0 g and a standard deviation of 693.4 g (based on Data Set 4 鈥淏irths鈥 in Appendix B).

a. If a birth weight is randomly selected, what is the probability that it is a 鈥渓ow birth weight鈥?

b. Find the weights considered to be significantly low, using the criterion of a birth weight having a probability of 0.05 or less.

c. Compare the results from parts (a) and (b).

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 -3.00 and 3.00.

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 Standard Deviation For the following, round results to three decimal places.

a. Find the value of the population standard deviation

b. Table 6-2 describes the sampling distribution of the sample mean. Construct a similar table representing the sampling distribution of the sample standard deviation s. Then combine values of s 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 standard deviation. d. Based on the preceding results, is the sample standard deviation an unbiased estimator of the population standard deviation? Why or why not?
