Question
- Use the "Statistics" function of your calculator to find the
mean and standard deviation for the data. (Round to tenths.) - Mean:_______
- Standard deviation:_________
- Use the
Normal Probability Distribution table or the built-infunctions of your calculator to find: a. What percent of male adults are taller than 6 feet (72 inches)? - What percent of male adults are taller than 5 feet (60 inches)?
- What percent of male adult heights are between 60 inches and 72 inches?
- Because of the high cost of leather, the company has decided they cannot profitably make leather pants in all sizes. Use the Normal Probability Distribution table or the built-in functions of your calculator to find the heights corresponding to the following percentages. These are the heights of the shortest and tallest males who can purchase leather pants from this company.
- The bottom 9%

- Instructions: Use the empirical rule to find the following probabilities. Remember to draw a normal curve, label the x-values for 1, 2, and 3 standard deviations from the mean, and write in the probabilities between each standard deviation before answering the questions. Suppose that the scores on a national achievement exam have a mean of 480 and a standard deviation of 90. What score is 3 standard deviations above the mean? What score is 2 standard deviations below the mean?
