A manufacturer produces 25-pound lifting weights. The lowest actual weight is 24 pounds, and the highest is 26 pounds. Each weight is equally likely so the distribution of weights is uniform. A sample of 100 weights is taken.
Find the 90th percentile for the total weight of the 100 weights.
According to Boeing data, the airliner carries passengers and has doors with a height of inches. Assume for a certain population of men we have a mean height of inches and a standard deviation of inches.
a. What doorway height would allow of men to enter the aircraft without bending?
b. Assume that half of the passengers are men. What mean doorway height satisfies the condition that there is aprobability that this height is greater than the mean height of men?
c. For engineers designing the , which result is more relevant: the height from part a or part b? Why?
