NASA excludes anyone under 5'2" in height and anyone over 6'3" from being an astronaut pilot (NASA 2004).

NASA excludes anyone under 5'2" in height and anyone over 6'3" from being an astronaut pilot (NASA 2004). In metric units,
these values for the lower and upper height restrictions are 157.5cm and 190.5cm, respectively.
The distribution of American adult heights within a sex and age group is reasonably well approximated by normal
distributions as follows:
20-29 year old males: U = 177.6cm and 5=9.7 cm
20-29 year old females: H = 163.2 cm and 5= 10.1cm
We want to answer the question: What fraction of the young female adults is eligible to be an astronaut pilot by these height
constraints?
Restated, we want to find Pr(females){157.5cm
height
190.5cm}, (put the greater than and/or less than symbols in correct places).
The standard normal deviate for the lower bound
(round to 2 decimals)
The standard normal deviate for the upper bound =
(round to 2 decimals)
One way to find the answer is 1-Pr(Z < lower bound<lower]) + Pr(Z > upper bound)
Using the Statistical Table B: The standard normal (Z) distribution,
Pr(Z<157.5) =
(report the exact number from the table, do not round)
Pr(Z>190.5) =
(report the exact number from the table, do not round)
Thus, the fraction of young female adults that are eligible to be an astronaut pilot based on height alone is
(report answer as a percentage to one decimal)
