Question #189281

In a school with 500 students, the average height is 165 +-10 cm. Assuming that the height follows the normal distribution:

If we choose a sample of 25 people from the above school:

What is the probability that a student is taller than 169 cm?

What is the probability that a student is less than 163 cm tall?

Solution:

Given, μ=165,σ=10,n=25\mu=165,\sigma=10,n=25

XN(μ,σ)X\sim N(\mu,\sigma)

(a) P(X>169)=P(z>16916510/25)=P(z>2)=1P(z2)P(X>169)=P(z>\dfrac{169-165}{10/\sqrt{25}})=P(z>2)=1-P(z\le2)

=10.97725=0.02275=1-0.97725=0.02275

(b) P(X<163)=P(z<16316510/25)=P(z<1)=0.15866P(X<163)=P(z<\dfrac{163-165}{10/\sqrt{25}})=P(z<-1)=0.15866
