Mean and standard deviation of the height of the population using empirical rule is equal to 65inches and 3 inches.
As given in the question,
Distribution of height in women population:
Percent of women heights less than 62inches = 16%
As per Empirical rule of normal distribution,
It is less than 68% it comes in first standard deviation
μ - σ = 62 __(1)
Percent of women heights less than 71 inches = 97.5%
As per Empirical rule of normal distribution,
It is in the range of 97.5% it comes in second standard deviation
μ +2σ = 71 __(2)
Solve (1) and (2) we get,
μ - σ = 62
μ +2σ = 71
0 - 3σ = -9
⇒ σ = 3inches
⇒ μ = 62 + 3
= 65inches
Therefore, the using empirical rule the mean and standard deviation to represent the height of population is equal to 65inches and 3 inches respectively.
