Question

Heights of 10-year-old boys (5th graders) follow an approximate normal distribution with mean μ = 55.5 inches and standard deviation σ = 2.7 inches.

a) According to this normal distribution, what proportion of 10-year-old boys are between 4 ft 4.0 in and 5 ft 6.5 in tall (between 52.0 inches and 66.5 inches)?

b) A parent says his 10-year-old son is in the 97th percentile in height. How tall is this boy?

if you can, please show what to input to do it on calculator

Definition Definition Measure of central tendency that is the average of a given data set. The mean value is evaluated as the quotient of the sum of all observations by the sample size. The mean, in contrast to a median, is affected by extreme values. Very large or very small values can distract the mean from the center of the data. Arithmetic mean: The most common type of mean is the arithmetic mean. It is evaluated using the formula: μ = 1 N ∑ i = 1 N x i Other types of means are the geometric mean, logarithmic mean, and harmonic mean. Geometric mean: The nth root of the product of n observations from a data set is defined as the geometric mean of the set: G = x 1 x 2 ... x n n Logarithmic mean: The difference of the natural logarithms of the two numbers, divided by the difference between the numbers is the logarithmic mean of the two numbers. The logarithmic mean is used particularly in heat transfer and mass transfer. ln x 2 − ln x 1 x 2 − x 1 Harmonic mean: The inverse of the arithmetic mean of the inverses of all the numbers in a data set is the harmonic mean of the data. 1 1 x 1 + 1 x 2 + ...
