Question

The heights of European 13-year-old boys can be approximated by a normal model with mean of 64.2 inches and standard deviation of 2.22 inches.

Question 1. What is the probability that a randomly selected 13-year-old boy from Europe is taller than 65.9 inches? (use 4 decimal places in your answer)

Question 2. A random sample of 4 European 13-year-old boys is selected. What is the probability that the sample mean height x is greater than 65.9 inches? (use 4 decimal places in your answer)

Question 3. A random sample of 9 European 13-year-old boys is selected. What is the probability that the sample mean height x is greater than 65.9 inches? (use 4 decimal places in your answer)

Explanation / Answer

1)

  probability that a randomly selected 13-year-old boy from Europe is taller than 65.9 inches:

2)

  the probability that the sample mean height x is greater than 65.9 inches:

3)

  probability that the sample mean height x is greater than 65.9 inches:

for normal distribution z score =(X-)/ here mean=       = 64.2 std deviation   == 2.220
