The heights of 2000 students are normally distributed with a mean of 167.5 centimeters and a standard deviation of 7.8 centimeters. Assuming that the heights are recorded to the nearest half-centimeter, how many of these students would be expected to have heights (a) less than 153.0 centimeters? (b) between 163.5 and 176.0 centimeters inclusive? (c) equal to 170.0 centimeters?
