Transcribed Image Text:The distribution of heights, X, of adult Omani men is approximately Normal with mean µ = 69
inches and standard deviation o = 2.5 inches
(a) Find the percentage of Omani men who are taller than 74 inches.
(b) Compute the conditional probability P(X > 77|X > 74).
(c) If 30 Omani men are randomly selected, find the probability that their average height will
be greater than 70 inches.
(d) Between what heights do the middle 90% of the men fall?
(e) The tallest 10% of Omani men are considered for a specific job in ROP. What is the
minimum height required?

- ALICE and YouGov conducted an online poll among Americans hotel guests of more than 18 years old to understand their expectations from hotels in the year 2018-191. This poll showed that 40% of guests were interested in gaining experiences of local cuisine tastings/tours. Suppose you take a random sample of 10 hotel guests. Let, x, represent the number of guests interested in gaining experiences of local cuisine tastings/tours. Find the mean and standard deviation of x. What is the probability that x <=5? Find the probability that x > 7.arrow_forwardThe amounts of time per workout an athlete uses a stairclimber are normally distributed, with a mean of 24minutes and a standard deviation of 5 minutes. Find the probability that a randomly selected athlete uses a stair climber for (a) less than 21 minutes, (b) between 24 and 32 minutes (c) more than 40 minutes. arrow_forwardUse this information about the overhead reach distances of adult females: µ = 205.5 cm, σ = 8.6 cm, and overhead reach distances are normally distributed (based on data from th Federal Aviation Administration) If 40 adult females are randomly selected, find the probability that they have a mean overhead reach between 204.0 cm and 206.0 cm.arrow_forward
- Suppose that the number of customers who enter a supermarket each hour is normally distributed with a mean of 650 and a standard deviation of 230. The supermarket is open 15 hours per day. What is the probability that the total number of customers who enter the supermarket in one day is greater than 10400? (Hint: Calculate the average hourly number of customers necessary to exceed 10400 in one 15-hour day.)

If there are 4 patients in the office,find the probability that at least one of them is taller than 6 ft. Then, find mean and standard deviation of the number of patients taller than 6ft.arrow_forwardThe amounts of time per workout an athlete uses a stairclimber are normally distributed, with a mean of 24minutes and a standard deviation of 5 minutes. Find the probability that a randomly selected athlete uses a stairclimber for (a) less than 20 minutes, (b) between 24 and 33 minutes, and (c) more than 40 minutes. (a) The probability that a randomly selected athlete uses a stairclimber for less than 20minutes is. (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
