Question
A survey found that women's heights are normally distributed with mean 63.3 in. and standard deviation 3.9 in. The survey also found that men's heights are normally
distributed with mean 67.4 in. and standard deviation 3.1 in. Most of the live characters employed at an amusement park have height requirements of a minimum of 56
in. and a maximum of 62 in. Complete parts (a) and (b) below.
a. Find the percentage of men meeting the height requirement. What does the result suggest about the genders of the people who are employed as characters at the
amusement park?
The percentage of men who meet the height requirement is 4.08 %.
(Round to two decimal places as needed.)
Since most men do not meet the height requirement, it is likely that most of the characters are women.
b. If the height requirements are changed to exclude only the tallest 50% of men and the shortest 5% of men, what are the new height requirements?
The new height requirements are a mnimum of in. and a maximum of in.
(Round to one decimal place as needed.)
