A typical home doorway has a height of 80 in. Given that the heights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 69.0 in and standard deviation of 2.8 in. a) Find the percentage of men who can fit through the standard doorway without bending. b) Is that percentage high enough to continue using 80 in as the standard doorway?

An entomologist believes that the median body length of lady beetles is 15.0 millimeters. A random sample of 16 lady beetles were measured and recorded as in the table below. 14.5 15.2 15.2 15.4 15.4 15.0 14.9 14.6 15.0 15.1 15.1 14.8 15.6 15.1 15.4 15.5 At α = 0.05, test the claim that the lady beetles’ body length is different from theestimated length.
Is the average time to complete an obstacle course different when a patch is placed over the right eye than when a patch is placed over the left eye? Thirteen randomly selected volunteers first completed an obstacle course with a patch over one eye and then completed an equally difficult obstacle course with a patch over the other eye. The completion times are shown below. "Left" means the patch was placed over the left eye and "Right" means the patch was placed over the right eye.
