Question

Heights for group of people normally distributed with mean = 65 inches and standard deviation = 2.5 inches. Find the height, h such that about 20% of people in the group are shorter than that height. (Round the answer to the nearest tenth.)

h = in.

What is the percentile, p ranking for that height?
p = %

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.
