Answer from: Reijected

The range of height of adult males in U.S. using the 95% empirical rule is 64 to 76 inches

According to the given data

The mean height for adult males in the U.S. is about 70 inches

The standard deviation of heights is about 3 inches.

Considering the data to be normally distributed

According to the empirical rule for normal distribution we can write that

95.45% of the data lies with in the range of

$\rm \mu - 2\sigma \; to \; \mu +2\sigma\\\\where \\\mu = Mean\\\sigma = Standard \; deviation$

We have to to determine that using the Empirical Rule 95% of adult males should fall into what height range

According to the given data

$\rm \mu = 70\\\rm \sigma = 3 \\$

$\rm Lower \; limit \; of \; the\; range \; of\; variation\; of \; height\; range = 70 - 2(3) = 64$

$\rm Upper \; limit \; of \; the\; range \; of\; variation\; of \; height\; range = 70 +2(3) = 76$

So we can conclude that the range of height of adult males in U.S. using the 95% empirical rule is 64 to 76 inches

Question options :

a. They should be between 64 and 76 inches tall.

b. They should be close to the height that is 95% of the mean. That is, 66.5 inches, plus or minus 2 standard deviations.

c. They should be at or below the 95th percentile, which is 74.92 inches.

d. None of the above.

a. They should be between 64 and 76 inches tall.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given the following :

Assume men's height follow a normal curve ; and :

Mean height = 70 inches

Standard deviation= 3 inches

According to the empirical rule ;

Assuming a normal distribution with x being random variables ;

About 68% of x-values lie between -1 to 1 standard deviation of the mean. With about 95% of the x values lying between - 2 and +2 standard deviation of mean. With 99.7% falling between - 3 to 3 standard deviations from the mean.

Using the empirical rule :

95% will fall between + or - 2 standard deviation of the mean.

Lower limit = - 2(3) = - 6

Upper limit = 2(3) = 6

(-6+mean) and (+6+ mean)

(-6 + 70) and (6+70)

64 and 76
