rcise 1: Distribution of the Sample Mean 1. Women’s heights are Normally distributed with a mean = 63.5 inches and a standard deviation = 2.5 inches. a) If 1 woman is randomly selected, what is the probability that her height is between 63.0 and 64.0 inches?. b) Suppose instead 9 women are randomly selected What is the distribution of the (sample) mean height for these 9 women? State the shape, mean and standard deviation. Interpret the values of the mean and standard deviation. c) What is the probability the (sample) mean height is between 63.0 and 64.0 inches.
