Chapter 2: Q 4.1. (page 103)
Explain why this is a legitimate density curve.

Short Answer
Since, the curve is above the horizontal axis and the total area under the curve is , we have a legitimate density curve.

Brent is a member of the school’s basketball team. The mean height of the players on the team is inches. Brent’s height translates to a score of in the team’s height distribution. What is the standard deviation of the team members’ heights?
Measuring bone density Individuals with low bone density have a high risk of broken bones (fractures). Physicians who are concerned about low bone density (osteoporosis) in patients can refer them for specialized testing. Currently, the most common method for testing bone density is dual-energy X-ray absorptiometry (DEXA). A patient who undergoes a DEXA test usually gets bone density results in grams per square centimeterand in standardized units. Judy, who is years old, has her bone density measured using DEXA. Her results indicate a bone density in the hipand a standardized score of. In the reference population of For -year-old women like Judy, the mean bone density in the hip is
(a) Judy has not taken a statistics class in a few years. Explain to her in simple language what the standardized score tells her about her bone density.
(b) Use the information provided to calculate the standard deviation of bone density in the reference population.
