Answer:
0.0668 = 6.68% probability that an individual man’s step length is less than 1.9 feet.
Step-by-step explanation:
Normal Probability Distribution:
Problems of normal distributions can be solved using the z-score formula.
In a set with mean [tex]\mu[/tex] and standard deviation [tex]\sigma[/tex], the z-score of a measure X is given by:
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
The Z-score measures how many standard deviations the measure is from the mean. After finding the Z-score, we look at the z-score table and find the p-value associated with this z-score. This p-value is the probability that the value of the measure is smaller than X, that is, the percentile of X. Subtracting 1 by the p-value, we get the probability that the value of the measure is greater than X.
Normally distributed with a mean of 2.5 feet and a standard deviation of 0.4 feet.
This means that [tex]\mu = 2.5, \sigma = 0.4[/tex]
Find the probability that an individual man’s step length is less than 1.9 feet.
This is the p-value of Z when X = 1.9. So
[tex]Z = \frac{X - \mu}{\sigma}[/tex]
[tex]Z = \frac{1.9 - 2.5}{0.4}[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.5[/tex]
[tex]Z = -1.5[/tex] has a p-value of 0.0668
0.0668 = 6.68% probability that an individual man’s step length is less than 1.9 feet.
