Suppose the height of kindergarten children can be described by a Normal model with a mean of 39.2 inches and standard deviation of 1.9inches. What fraction of kindergarten kids should the company expect to be less than 38 inches tall? About 26.4% of kindergarten kids are expected to be less than 38 inches tall. (Round to one decimal place as needed.) In what height interval should the company expect to find the middle 90% of kindergarteners? The middle 90% of kindergarteners are expected to be between 36.1 inches and 42.3 inches. (Use ascending order. Round to one decimal place as needed.)
