In a survey of a group of men, the heights in the 20-29 age group were normally distributed, with a mean of 69.6 inches
and a standard deviation of 4.0 inches. A study participant is randomly selected. Complete parts (a) through (d) below.
(a) Find the probability that a study participant has a height that is less than 68 inches.
The probability that the study participant selected at random is less than 68 inches tall is 0.4. (Round to four decimal
places as needed.)

- 7.2.12 Wayne Collier designed an experiment to measure the fuel efficiency of his family car under different tire pressures. For each run, he set the tire pressure and then measured the miles he drove on a highway (I-95 between Mills River and Pisgah Forest, NC) until he ran out of fuel using 2 liters of fuel each time. To do this, he made some alterations to the normal flow of gasoline to the engine. In Wayne’s words, “I inserted a T-junction into the fuel line just before the fuel filter, and a line into the passenger compartment of my car, where it joined with a graduated 2-liter Rubbermaid© bottle that I mounted in a box where the passenger seat is normally fastened. Then I sealed off the fuel-return line, which under normal operation sends excess fuel from the fuel pump back to the fuel tank.” Suppose that you call the mean miles that he can drive with normal pressure in the tires μ. An unbiased estimate for μ is the mean of the sample runs, x. But Wayne has a different idea.
