Chapter 6.2, Problem 22BSC
In Exercises 21-24, use these parameters (based on Data Set 1 "Body Data" in Appendix B):
- Men's heights are
normally distributed withmean 68.6 in. and standard deviation 2.8 in. - Women's heights are normally distributed with mean 63.7 in. and standard deviation 2.9 in.
Air Force Pilots The U.S. Air Force requires that pilots have heights between 64 in. and 77 in.
- a. Find the percentage of men meeting the height requirement.
- b. If the Air Force height requirements are changed to exclude only the tallest 2.5% of men and the shortest 2.5% of men, what are the new height requirements?
