According to a study done by De Anza students, the height for Asian adult males is normally distributed with an average of 66inches and a standard deviation of 2.5inches. Suppose one Asian adult male is randomly chosen. Let X = height of the individual.

a.X~_____(_____,_____)

b. Find the probability that the person is between 65and 69inches. Include a sketch of the graph, and write a probability statement.

c. Would you expect to meet many Asian adult males over 72 inches? Explain why or why not, and justify your answer numerically.

Short Answer

Expert verified
  1. The normal distribution that follows the random variable XasX~N(66,2.5).
  2. The probability between 65and 69inches is 0.5403and the graph is

c. The probability that an Asian male is over 72inches tall is0.0082is not acceptable.

Step by step solution

01

Given information (Part a)

Given in the question that

Average or mean =66

Standard deviation=2.5

X=height of the individual

02

Solution (part a)

Here we need to fond the X~_____(_____,_____)

For that

mean is 66

Standard deviation is 2.5

so the values isX~N(66,2.5)

03

Final answer (part a)

The normal distribution that follows the random variable XasX~N(66,2.5).

04

Given information (Part b)

Given in the question that

Mean =66

Standard deviation =2.5

X=height of the individual

05

Solution (Part b)

The probability for the person between 65and 69inches is calculated below,

p(65<X<69)=pZ≤X2−μσ−pZ≤X1−μσ

=pZ≤69−662.5−pZ≤65−662.5

=p(Z≤1.2)−p(Z≤−0.4)

The calculation of p(Z≤1.2)and p(Z≤−0.4)is done from the Z value table.

p(z<1⋅2)−p(z≤−0.4)

P(z≤1⋅2=P(−∞≤z≤0)+P(z≤1⋅2)

=0.5+3849

=0.8849.

Calculation of P(z≤−0⋅4)

=P(−∞≤z≤0)−P(0≤2≤0.4)

=0.5−0.1554

=0.3446

Now we need to put the value in the above formula,

p(65<X<69)=p(Z≤1.2)−p(Z≤−0.4)

=0.8849−0.3446

=0.5403

06

Solution (Part b)

The graphical representation of the above calculation is shown below,

07

Final answer (Part b)

The probability of the person between 65and 69inches is 0.5403and the graph is

08

Given information (Part c)

Given in the question that

Mean=66

Standard deviation=2.5

X=height of the individual

09

Solution (part c)

The calculation for the probability of Asian adult males over 72 inches is shown below,

p(X>72)=1−Z≤X−μσ

=1−pZ≤72−662.5

=1−p(Z≤2.4)

The calculation p(Z≤2.4)is done from the Z value table

P(Z≤2.4)

=0.500+.4918

=0â‹…9918

Now we need to put the value in the above,

p(X>72)=1−p(Z≤2.4)

=1−0.9918

=0.0082

10

Final answer (Part c)

Therefore, the probability that an Asian male is over 72inches tall is 0.0082. Since the probability that an Asian male is over 72inches tall is 0.0082, it is not expected that an Asian male is over 72 inches tall.
