Answer :

The distribution of height of men is approximately normal with mean μ = 69.2 inches and standard deviation of σ =2.5 inches.

A) According to the empirical rule of probability, about 95% observations falls within two standard deviation of mean.

Therefore,

Lower bound=μ+2*sigma

=69.2+2*2.5

=69.2+5.0

Lower bound=74.2

Upper bound=μ-2*sigma

=69.2-2*2.5

=69.2-5

Upper bound=64.2

B) The distribution of the heights of young men is approximately normal with mean mu=69.2 inches and standard deviation of sigma=2.5

The standard score of height of 72 inches is given by:

z=(72-69.2)/2.5

z=2.8/2.5

z=1.12

Hence, the distribution of height of men is approximately normal with mean μ = 69.2 inches and standard deviation of σ =2.5 inches.
