Question 1
Short Answer
Use the following to answer the questions below: It is generally believed that the heights of adults males in the U.S. are approximately normally distributed with mean 70 inches (5 feet, 10 inches) and standard deviation 3 inches and that the heights of adult females in the U.S. are also approximately normally distributed with mean 64 inches (5 feet, 4 inches) and standard deviation 2.5 inches.
