Question

In the country of United States of Heightlandia, the height measurements of ten-year-old children are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 53.5 inches, and standard deviation of 4.9 inches.

What is the probability that the height of a randomly chosen child is between 58.65 and 59.85 inches? Do not round until you get your your final answer, and then round to 3 decimal places.

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.
