Question
The overhead reach distances of adult females are normally distributed with a mean of
197.5 cm
and a standard deviation of
8.9 cm.
a. Find the probability that an individual distance is greater than
210.90
cm.b. Find the probability that the mean for
15
randomly selected distances is greater than 195.70 cm.c. Why can the normal distribution be used in part (b), even though the sample size does not exceed 30?
