Question

Suppose the neck size of men is normally distributed, with a mean of 15.5 inches and a standard deviation of 0.5 inch. A shirt manufacturer is going to introduce a new line of shirts. Assume that if your neck size falls between two shirt sizes, you purchase the next larger shirt size. How many of each of the following sizes should be included in a batch of 1,500 shirts? (Assume that if your neck size falls below 14 you will purchase a size 14 shirt. Assume that if your neck size falls above 17 you will not purchase a shirt. Note: The answer blanks may not add up to exactly 1,500 shirts. Round your answers to the nearest whole number.)

(a)    14
shirt(s)

(b)    14.5
shirt(s)

(c)    15
shirt(s)

(d)    15.5
shirt(s)

(e)    16
shirt(s)

(f)    16.5
shirt(s)

(g)    17
shirt(s)

Features Features Normal distribution is characterized by two parameters, mean (µ) and standard deviation (σ). When graphed, the mean represents the center of the bell curve and the graph is perfectly symmetric about the center. The mean, median, and mode are all equal for a normal distribution. The standard deviation measures the data's spread from the center. The higher the standard deviation, the more the data is spread out and the flatter the bell curve looks. Variance is another commonly used measure of the spread of the distribution and is equal to the square of the standard deviation.
