Solve the Problem 65.265.2 Inches and That the Standard Deviation Is 2.82.8

Question 52

Multiple Choice

Solve the problem.
-A northeastern college has an enrollment of 2835 female students. Records show that the mean height of these students is 65.265.2 inches and that the standard deviation is 2.82.8 inches. The table shows frequency and relative-frequency data for these heights. If you assume that the distribution of heights is approximately normal, then you can use the table to estimate areas under the associated normal curve (that is, under the normal curve that has parameters μ=65.2\mu = 65.2 and σ=2.8\sigma = 2.8 ) . Making this assumption, estimate the area under the associated normal curve between 65 and 70 .  Height  (inches)   Freq.  Relative  freq.  57-under 58 160.005658-under 59 250.008859-under 60 560.0198 60-under 61 960.0339 61-under 62 1780.0628 62-under 63 2630.0928 63-under 64 3220.1136 64-under 65 3880.1369 65-under 66 4060.1432 66-under 67 3610.1273 67-under 68 2920.1030 68-under 69 2010.0709 69-under 70 1130.0399 70-under 71 750.0265 71-under 72 250.0088 72-under 73 160.0056 73-under 74 20.0007\begin{array}{c|c|c}\begin{array}{c}\text { Height } \\\text { (inches) }\end{array} & \text { Freq. } & \begin{array}{c}\text { Relative } \\\text { freq. }\end{array} \\\hline \text { 57-under 58 } & 16 & 0.0056 \\58 \text {-under 59 } & 25 & 0.0088 \\59 \text {-under 60 } & 56 & 0.0198 \\\text { 60-under 61 } & 96 & 0.0339 \\\text { 61-under 62 } & 178 & 0.0628 \\\text { 62-under 63 } & 263 & 0.0928 \\\text { 63-under 64 } & 322 & 0.1136 \\\text { 64-under 65 } & 388 & 0.1369 \\\text { 65-under 66 } & 406 & 0.1432 \\\text { 66-under 67 } & 361 & 0.1273 \\\text { 67-under 68 } & 292 & 0.1030 \\\text { 68-under 69 } & 201 & 0.0709 \\\text { 69-under 70 } & 113 & 0.0399 \\\text { 70-under 71 } & 75 & 0.0265 \\\text { 71-under 72 } & 25 & 0.0088 \\\text { 72-under 73 } & 16 & 0.0056 \\\text { 73-under 74 } & 2 & 0.0007\end{array}
