Question

Adult male heights are normally distributed with a mean of 70 inches and a standard deviation of 3 inches. The average basketball player is 79 inches tall. Using the
empirical rule, approximately what percent of the adult male population is taller than the average basketball player?
0.15%
0.30%
49.85%
99.7%

Answer 1

Answer:

0.15%

Step-by-step explanation:

3 standard deviations encompasses 99.7% of the data symmetrically around the mean with 0.15% on each side that is above and below. so above would be 0.15%

Answer 2

The percentage of the adult male population s taller than the average basketball player is 0.15%. This option A is correct.

What is make adult height?

If their heights are distributed with a mean of 70 inches the SD of 3 inches and the average play is 79 inches stated by the empirical rule. The average population should be 0.15% by the rule.

Based on the standard deviation that shows the three deviations that includes 99.7% of the data symmetrically with the mean of 0.15% on each side hence i.e above and below.

Usin the standardize x to z = (x - μ) / σ, we get 79-70 / 3  as 0.15
