The distribution of heights in a population of women is approximately normal. Sixteen percent of the women have heights less than 62 inches. About 97.5% of the women have heights less than 71 inches. Use the empirical rule to estimate the mean and standard deviation of the heights in this population. Mean: K inches Standard Deviation: inches
Use z-scores to make the following comparison. A high school student took two college entrance exams, scoring 1110 on the SAT and 27 on the ACT. Suppose that SAT scores have a mean of 950 and a standard deviation of 130 while the ACT scores have a mean of 22 and a standard deviation of 4. Assuming the performance on both tests follows a normal distribution, determine which test the student did better on.
Length of skateboards in a skateshop are normally distributed with a mean of 32 in and a standard deviation of 0.6 in. The figure below shows the distribution of the length of skateboards in a skateshop. Calculate the shaded area under the curve.
Use the Empirical Rule. The mean speed of a sample of vehicles along a stretch of highway is 68 miles per hour, with a standard deviation of 3 miles per hour. Estimate the percent of vehicles whose speeds are between 65 miles per hour and 71 miles per hour. (Assume the data set has a bell-shaped distribution.) Approximately nothing% of vehicles travel between 65 miles per hour and 71 miles per hour.
The distribution of male height (X) in the US is known to be normally distributed with mean of about 70 inches and variance of 25 inches. What is the IQR?

The z tables can be found at the bottom of the written portion of the exam or at the end of Lecture Note 10. a.) 5.0 b.) 9.0 c.) 7.3 d.) 10.0 e.) 6.7
A distributor's average daily customer demand is 400 units. The standard deviation of customer demand is 30 units. If the distributor would like to maintain a 98% service level (Z score = 2.05) and the supplier's lead time is 9 days, how much safety stock should be held?
