Assume that women's heights are normally distributed with a mean of 63.6 inches and a standard deviation of 2.5 inches. If 150 women are randomly selected, find the probability that they have a mean height above 64.0

Respuesta :

0.9750

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data: Normally distributed mean = 63.6 inches, standard deviation = 2.5 inches

Number of women, N = 150, Mean height = 64.0 inches

We know that [tex]Z=\frac{\bar{X}-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}[/tex]

Now, [tex]P(\bar{X}>64)=P\left(\frac{\bar{X}-\mu}{\frac{\sigma}{\sqrt{n}}}>\frac{64.0-63.6}{\frac{2.5}{\sqrt{150}}}\right)[/tex]

= P(Z > 1.959)  

= P(Z > 1.96) (Rounding off the 1.959 we get 1.96)

In the normal table look row wise 1.9 and column wise 0.06,

We get the value 0.9750.

Hence, [tex]P(\bar{X}>64)[/tex] = 0.9750.
