A survey found that women's heights are normally distributed with mean 63.463.4 in. and standard deviation 2.32.3 in. The survey also found that men's heights are normally distributed with mean 68.368.3 in. and standard deviation 3.83.8 in. Most of the live characters employed at an amusement park have height requirements of a minimum of 5656 in. and a maximum of 6464 in. Complete parts (a) and (b) below. a. Find the percentage of men meeting the height requirement. What does the result suggest about the genders of the people who are employed as characters at the amusement park? The percentage of men who meet the height requirement is nothing%. (Round to two decimal places as needed.) Since most men ▼ do not meet meet the height requirement, it is likely that most of the characters are ▼ women. men. b. If the height requirements are changed to exclude only the tallest 50% of men and the shortest 5% of men, what are the new height requirements? The new height requirements are a minimum of nothing in. and a maximum of nothing in. (Round to one decimal place as needed.)

Continuous Probability Distributions
Probability distributions are of two types, which are continuous probability distributions and discrete probability distributions. A continuous probability distribution contains an infinite number of values. For example, if time is infinite: you could count from 0 to a trillion seconds, billion seconds, so on indefinitely. A discrete probability distribution consists of only a countable set of possible values.
Normal Distribution
Suppose we had to design a bathroom weighing scale, how would we decide what should be the range of the weighing machine? Would we take the highest recorded human weight in history and use that as the upper limit for our weighing scale? This may not be a great idea as the sensitivity of the scale would get reduced if the range is too large. At the same time, if we keep the upper limit too low, it may not be usable for a large percentage of the population!
