Suppose that the breaking strength of a rope (in pounds) is normally distributed, with a mean of 100 pounds and a standard deviation of 16. What is the probability that a certain rope will break before being subjected to 120 pounds? (You may need to use the standard normal distribution table. Round your answer to four decimal places.)

Look at this histogram of heights from the GSS, which happens to be a case where a variable is relatively close to Normally-distributed (Normal curve laid atop for reference). Although it is tough to “eyeball” standard deviations, I am going to give you a list of values that could possibly describe one standard deviation of this distribution. Only one is even in the “ballpark”. Please select it based on your knowledge of Normal distributions. a. One inch b. Four inches c. 20 inches d. 50 inches
