Transcribed Image Text:**Normal Distribution of Giraffe Heights**
The mean height of an adult giraffe is 18 feet. Suppose that the distribution is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 1 foot. Let \( X \) be the height of a randomly selected adult giraffe. Round all answers to 4 decimal places where possible.
a. **What is the distribution of \( X \)?**
\( X \sim N(18, 1) \)
b. **What is the median giraffe height?**
The median giraffe height is \( 18 \) ft.
c. **What is the Z-score for a giraffe that is 20.5 feet tall?**
The Z-score is \( 2.5 \).
d. **What is the probability that a randomly selected giraffe will be shorter than 19 feet tall?**
The probability is \( 0.8413 \).
e. **What is the probability that a randomly selected giraffe will be between 17.3 and 17.8 feet tall?**
The probability is \( 0.1788 \).
f. **The 90th percentile for the height of giraffes is** (value not provided in the image)
