Suppose the heights of 18-year-old men are approximately normally distributed, with mean 69 inches and standard deviation 5 inches. n USE SALT (a) What is the probability that an 18-year-old man selected at random is between 68 and 70 inches tall? (Round your answer to four decimal places.) (b) If a random sample of sixteen 18-year-old men is selected, what is the probability that the mean height x is between 68 and 70 inches? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
Permutations and Combinations
If there are 5 dishes, they can be relished in any order at a time. In permutation, it should be in a particular order. In combination, the order does not matter. Take 3 letters a, b, and c. The possible ways of pairing any two letters are ab, bc, ac, ba, cb and ca. It is in a particular order. So, this can be called the permutation of a, b, and c. But if the order does not matter then ab is the same as ba. Similarly, bc is the same as cb and ac is the same as ca. Here the list has ab, bc, and ac alone. This can be called the combination of a, b, and c.
Counting Theory
The fundamental counting principle is a rule that is used to count the total number of possible outcomes in a given situation.

(a) What is the probability that an 18-year-old man selected at random is between 68 and 70 inches tall? (Round your answer to four decimal places.)
(b) If a random sample of sixteen 18-year-old men is selected, what is the probability that the mean height x is between 68 and 70 inches? (Round your answer to four decimal
places.)
(c) Compare your answers to parts (a) and (b). Is the probability in part (b) much higher? Why would you expect this?
O The probability in part (b) is much higher because the mean is smaller for the x distribution.
O The probability in part (b) is much higher because the standard deviation is larger for the x distribution.
O The probability in part (b) is much higher because the standard deviation is smaller for the x distribution.
O The probability in part (b) is much lower because the standard deviation is smaller for the x distribution,
O The probability in part (b) is much higher because the mean is larger for the x distribution.](/v2/_next/image?url=https%3A%2F%2Fcontent.bartleby.com%2Fqna-images%2Fquestion%2F28975974-1dd5-428f-84d4-4e0666c15eb4%2F4f8e3f78-ce62-4941-b164-e92a5fe9392b%2Fqoyl7w_processed.jpeg&w=3840&q=75)
