A survey found that women's heights are normally distributed with mean 63.8 in and standard deviation 2.4 in. A branch of the military requires women's heights to be between 58 in and 80 in.
a. Find the percentage of women meeting the height requirement. Are many women being denied the opportunity to join this branch of the military because they are too short or too tall?
b. If this branch of the military changes the height requirements so that all women are eligible except the shortest 1% and the tallest 2%, what are the new height requirements?
Find these two areas by first converting the normal random variables, x, to standard normal random variables, z, using the formula below, where μ is the mean and σ is the standard deviation.
z = (x-u)/σ
x−μσ
Find the corresponding z score for the minimum height requirement of 58 in, using
μ= 63.8
σ = 2.4
x = 58 or 80
and rounding to two decimal places.
(58 - 63.8) / (2.4) = -2.42
Find the corresponding z score for the maximum height requirement of 80 in, rounding to two decimal places

The lengths of pregnancies are normally distributed with a mean of 266 days and a standard deviation of 15 days.
a. Find the probability of a pregnancy lasting 309 days or longer.
b. If the length of pregnancy is in the lowest 44%, then the baby is premature. Find the length that separates premature babies from those who are not premature.
conver 266 to its corresponding z-score.
Use the fact that z = (x−μ) /σ.
z = (309-266)/15 = 2.87
The normal distribution table gives the cumulative area under the curve to the left of the z-score. Recall that the area under the normal curve is equal to 1. To find the area under the curve to the right of the z-score subtract the cumulative area to the left of the z-score from 1.Use a normal distribution table given to find the cumulative area to the left of z = 2.87.
P(z < 2.87) = 0.9979
Now subtract the area 0.9979 from 1 to find the area of the shaded region.
Shaded area = 1 − 0.9979 = 0.0021
Thus, the probability that a pregnancy will last 266 days or longer is
b.
In order to determine the length of pregnancy that separates the premature babies from those who are not premature, draw a normal curve and shade the area corresponding to the lowest 44%.
Use a standard normal distribution table to find the z-score that corresponds to the lowest 44%. Start by looking in the body of the table and finding the value closest to 0.04.
The area closest to 0.04 is 0.0401.
Find the corresponding z-score for 0.0401.
The corresponding z value is −1.75
To obtain the x-value use the fact that x = μ+(z•σ).
x =266 + (−1.75 *15) almost equals≈239.75
Thus, babies who are born on or before 240 days are considered premature.

= 1.0000
Now subtract the area 1.0000 from 1 to find the area of the shaded region.
1 − 1.0000 = 0.0000
Therefore, 0.00% of earthquakes will have a magnitude above 4.0 and will cause indoor items to shake.
c)
Find the z score that corresponds to an area of 0.9500, rounding to three decimal places.
z=1.645
With z=1.645, u = 1.117, and σ =0.548, solve for x by using the following formula, rounding to three decimal places.
x = μ+ (z *σ) =
x = 1.117 + (1.645 * 0.548) = 2.018
Therefore, 95% of earthquakes have a magnitude of 2.018 or lower.
Will all earthquakes above the 95th percentile cause indoor items to shake?
Only earthquakes with magnitudes above 4.0 will cause indoor items to shake. The 95th percentile for earthquake magnitudes is 2.018.
Use this information to determine if all earthquakes above the 95th percentile will cause indoor items to shake.
