Height of Dutch Men. Males in the Netherlands are the tallest, on average, in the world with an average height of 183 centimeters (cm) (BBC News website). Assume that the height of men in the Netherlands is normally distributed with a mean of 183 cm and standard deviation of 10.5 cm.a.What is the probability that a Dutch male is shorter than 175 cm?b.What is the probability that a Dutch male is taller than 195 cm?c.What is the probability that a Dutch male is between 173 and 193 cm?d.Out of a random sample of 1000 Dutch men, how many would we expect to be taller than 190 cm?
Answers
Given : average height of 183 centimeters (cm)
standard deviation of 10.5 cm
To Find : probability that a Dutch male is shorter than 175 cm
probability that a Dutch male is taller than 195 cm
probability that a Dutch male is between 173 and 193 cm
Out of a random sample of 1000 Dutch men, how many would we expect to be taller than 190 cm
Solution:
Mean = 183 cm
SD = 10.5 cm
Z score = ( Value - Mean ) /SD
Dutch male is shorter than 175 cm
Z score = ( 175 - 183)/10.5 = -0.762
from z score table probability is 0.223
Dutch male is taller than 195 cm
Z score = ( 195 - 183)/10.5 = 1.143
from z score table probability is 0.8735 for shorter than 195 cm
Hence probability that a Dutch male is taller than 195 cm = 1 - 0.8735
= 0.1265
Dutch male is between 173 and 193 cm
Z score = ( 173 - 183)/10.5 = -0.952 => 0.1705
Z score = ( 193 - 183)/10.5 = 0.952 => 0.8295
0.8295 - 0.1705 =0.659
taller than 190 cm
Z score = ( 190 - 183)/10.5 = 0.6667
taller than 190 cm = 1 - 0.7475 = 0.2525
Hence in 1000 = 252.5 = 253
