In Exercises 9–12, 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 13–20, 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.)
Mean | St.Dev. | Distribution | |
Males | 23.5 in | 1.1 in | Normal |
Females | 22.7 in | 1.0 in | Normal |
Find the probability that a female has a back-to-knee length greater than 24.0 in.

Mean | St.Dev. | Distribution | |
Males | 23.5 in | 1.1 in | Normal |
Females | 22.7 in | 1.0 in | Normal |
Find the probability that a male has a back-to-knee length between 22.0 in. and 24.0 in.
Standard normal distribution, 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 score. If using technology instead of Table A-2, round answers to four decimal places.
Between -4.27 and 2.34
Standard Normal DistributionIn Exercises 17–36, 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.
Greater than 0.25
