Men’s heights are normally distributed with a mean of68.6in and a standard deviation of 2.8 in. The US Air Force requires that fighter pilots have heights between 64 in and 77 in. You are going to find the probability of a randomly selected man satisfying the US Air Force height requirement. a. Sketch the distribution curve AND shade the region under the curve which pertains to the problem. Make sure you label the mean. b. Now use your calculator to find the probability that a randomly selected man will satisfy the US Air Force height requirement. Round to 4 decimal places. Don’t forget to show what you typed into your calculator.

In this problem, assume that the distribution of differences is approximately normal. Note: For degrees of freedom d.f. not in the Student's t table, use the closest d.f. that is smaller. In some situations, this choice of d.f. may increase the P-value by a small amount and therefore produce a slightly more "conservative" answer.The artifact frequency for an excavation of a kiva in Bandelier National Monument gave the following information.
