Question

The height of women ages 20-29 is normally distributed, with a mean of

63.8 inches. Assume σ=2.6 inches. Are you more likely to randomly select 1 woman with a height less than 66 inches or are you more likely to select a sample of 16 women with a mean height less than 66 inches? Explain

What is the probability of randomly selecting 1 woman with a height less than 66 inches?

what is the probability of randomly selecting a sample of 16 women with a mean height less than 66 inches?

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.
