Question

Suppose that an airline uses a seat width of 16.1  in. Assume men have hip breadths that are normally distributed with a mean of 14.7  in. and a standard deviation of 1.1  in.

PART A: 0.1016

B. If a plane is filled with 124 randomly selected men, find the probability that these men have a mean hip breadth.

The probability is ..(rounded to four places as needed.)

C. Which result should be considered for any changes in seat design: result from part a and b.

The result from ______ should be considered because _______.

Expert Solution
Step 1

            (b). P(X16.1)

                            = P(Z16.1μ​/σ)

                             =P(Z16.114.1/1.1)

                             =P(Z2.09)

                              =1P(Z<2.09)

                              =10.9817

                              =0.0183
