Question

2-(1-8)Women's height forms a mound-shaped distribution. If 68% of all women are between 4.875 feet an d 5.375 feet tall,what is the aerage female height?

Answer 1

Given that, Women's height forms a mound-shaped distribution. If 68% of all women are between 4.875 feet an d 5.375 feet tall. where, lower limit = 4.875 and upper limit = 5.375

Aacording to Empirical ( 68-95-99.7) rule approximately 68% of the data fall within 1 standard deviations of the mean.

Therefore, average female height is,

(upper limit + lower limit) / 2

= (4.875 + 5.375) / 2

= 10.25/ 2

= 5.125

Hence, average female height is 5.125 feet
