An airliner carries 300 passengers and has doors with a height of 74 in. Heights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 69.0 in and a standard deviation of 2.8 in. Complete parts (a) through (d). a. If a male passenger is randomly selected, find the probability that he can fit through the doorway without bending. The probability is 0.9633. (Round to four decimal places as needed.) b. If half of the 300 passengers are men, find the probability that the mean height of the 150 men is less than 74 in.

Transcribed Image Text:### Probability and Passenger Heights
An airliner carries 300 passengers and has doors with a height of 74 inches. Heights of men are normally distributed with a mean of 69.0 inches and a standard deviation of 2.8 inches. Complete parts (a) through (d).
#### a. Probability of a Random Male Passenger Fitting Through the Doorway
If a male passenger is randomly selected, find the probability that he can fit through the doorway without bending.
- **The probability is 0.9633.**
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
#### b. Probability of the Mean Height Being Less Than 74 inches
If half of the 300 passengers are men, find the probability that the mean height of the 150 men is less than 74 inches.
- **The probability is (Answer not provided in the image).**
(Round to four decimal places as needed.)
### Explanation
The question involves calculating probabilities using the normal distribution. The doors' height and passenger heights determine how many passengers can pass without bending. The men's heights are assumed to follow a normal distribution, allowing for determination of likelihoods regarding how many fit comfortably.
