Transcribed Image Text:Suppose the neck size of men is normally distributed, with a mean of 15.5 inches and a standard deviation of 0.5 inch. A shirt manufacturer is going to introduce a new line of shirts.
Assume that if your neck size falls between two shirt sizes, you purchase the next larger shirt size. How many of each of the following sizes should be included in a batch of 1,000 shirts?
(Assume that if your neck size falls below 14 you will purchase a size 14 shirt. Assume that if your neck size falls above 17 you will not purchase a shirt. Note: The answer blanks may not
add up to exactly 1,000 shirts. Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)

- A student scores 74 on a geography test and 264 on a mathematics test. The geography test has a mean of 80 and a standard deviation of 5. The mathematics test has a mean of 300 and a standard deviation of 24. If the data for both tests are normally distributed, on which test did the student score better relative to the other students in each class? OA. The student scored better on the mathematics test. OB. The student scored better on the geography test. OC. The student scored the same on both tests.arrow_forwardA particular fruit's weights are normally distributed, with a mean of 442 grams and a standard deviation of 35 grams.
