Question

The heights of adult American men can be modeled by a normal distribution with mean μ = 69 inches and standard deviation σ = 2.5 inches.

Use the empirical rule to answer the following question

What proportion of adult American men have heights between 64.0 and 71.5 inches?

Enter your answer in decimal form.

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.
