Section I: Applications of Normal
Distribution
For problem 1, use these parameters
Men’s heights are normally distributed with a mean 69.5
in. and standard deviation 2.4 in.
Women’s heights are normally distributed with mean 63.8
in. and standard deviation 2.6 in.
Problem 1: Navy Pilots. The US Navy requires that
fighter pilots have heights between 62in. and
78in.
a, Find the percentage of women meeting the height
requirement. Are many women not qualified because they are too
short or too tall?
b, Find the percentage of men meeting the height
requirement. Are many men not qualified because they are too short
or too tall?
c, If the Navy changes the height requirements so that
all women are eligible except the shortest 1% and the tallest 1%,
what are the new height requirements for women?
d, If the Navy changes the height requirements so that
all men are eligible except the shortest 1% and the tallest 1%,
