TopicNormal Distribution
TypeMixed calculations with boundaries

  1. The heights of females from a country are normally distributed with
  • a mean of 166.5 cm
  • a standard deviation of 6.1 cm
Given that \(1 \%\) of females from this country are shorter than \(k \mathrm {~cm}\),
  1. find the value of \(k\)
  2. Find the proportion of females from this country with heights between 150 cm and 175 cm A female, from this country, is chosen at random from those with heights between 150 cm and 175 cm
  3. Find the probability that her height is more than 160 cm The heights of females from a different country are normally distributed with a standard deviation of 7.4 cm Mia believes that the mean height of females from this country is less than 166.5 cm
    Mia takes a random sample of 50 females from this country and finds the mean of her sample is 164.6 cm
  4. Carry out a suitable test to assess Mia’s belief. You should
    • state your hypotheses clearly
    • use a \(5 \%\) level of significance
