Adult male heights are normally distributed with a mean of 70 inches and a standard deviation of 3 inches. The average basketball player is 79 inches tall. Approximately what percent of the adult male population is taller than the average basketball player?

Respuesta :

[tex]\mathbb P(X>79)=\mathbb P\left(\dfrac{X-70}3>\dfrac{79-70}3\right)=\mathbb P(Z>3)[/tex]

Recall that the empirical rule for normal distributions says that approximately 99.7% of the distribution falls within three standard deviations of the mean. Therefore 0.3% must lie outside that range, with 0.15% on either side.

So, [tex]\mathbb P(Z>3)\approx0.15\%[/tex].
