Question

According to a study done by UCB students, the height for Martian adult males is normally distributed with an average of 65 inches and a standard deviation of 2.4 inches. Suppose one Martian adult male is randomly chosen. Let X = height of the individual. Round all answers to 4 decimal places where possible.

a. What is the distribution of X? X ~ N(,)

b. Find the probability that the person is between 63.5 and 67.3 inches.

c. The middle 30% of Martian heights lie between what two numbers?
Low: inches
High: inches

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
