- Assume that women's heights are normally distributed with a mean given by μ=63.5 in,and a standard deviation given by σ=2.3 in. (a) If 1 woman is randomly selected, find the probability that her height is less than 64 in. (b) If 48 women are randomly selected, find the probability that they have a mean height less than 64 in. (a)The probability is approximately ?arrow_forwardLet 0< a< 1. For a normally distributed variable, show that 100(1 - a)% of all possible observations lie within za/2 standard deviations to either side of the mean, that is, between µ - za/2 • σ and µ + za/2 • σ.arrow_forwardAssume that X is normally distributed with a mean of 10 and a standard deviation of 2.
