Step 1

Solution-:

Given: μ=17,σ=0.8

Let, X= be the height of a randomly selected adult giraffe

X N(μ=17,σ2=0.82)

We find,

(d) P(a randomly selected giraffe will be shorter than 16.1 feet tall)=?

(e) P(a randomly selected giraffe will be between 17.3 and 18 feet tall)=?

(f) The 70th percentile for the height of giraffes in feet.
