The height of male students at your college/university is normally distributed with a
mean of 70 inches and a standard deviation of 3.5 inches.If you had a list of telephone
numbers for male students for the purpose of conducting a survey, what would be the
probability of randomly calling one of these students whose height is
(a)taller than 6'0"?
(b)between 5'3" and 6'5"?
(c)shorter than 5'7", the mean height of female students?
(d)shorter than 5'0"?
(e)taller than Shaq O'Neal, the center of the Miami Heat, who is 7'1" tall? Compare this
to the probability of a woman being pregnant for 10 months (300 days), where days of
pregnancy is normally distributed with a mean of 266 days and a standard deviation of 16
days.
