Question

Assume that military aircraft use ejection seats designed for men weighing between

137.1

lb and

202

lb. If women's weights are normally distributed with a mean of

163.2

lb and a standard deviation of

42.8

lb, what percentage of women have weights that are within those limits? Are many women excluded with those specifications?

The percentage of women that have weights between those limits is

nothing%.

(Round to two decimal places as needed.)

Are many women excluded with those specifications?

A. yes, the percentage of women who are excluded, which is the complement of the probability found previously shows that about half of women are excluded

B. YES, the percentage of women who are excluded, which is equal to the probability found previously shows that about half of women are exluded

c. no, the percentage of women who are excluded which is the complement of the probability found previosly shows that very few women are excluded

D. no, the percentage of women who are excluded which is equal to the prpbability found previously. shows that very few women are excluded

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.
