The Empirical Rule states that for bell-shaped distributions, about 68% of the values fall within 1 standard deviation of the mean. The heights of women at a large university are approximately bell-shaped, with a mean of 66 inches and standard deviation of 3 inches. Use this information to answer the questions. (a) What is the probability that a randomly selected woman from this university is 69 inches or taller

0.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Let X be a random variable that represents the heights of women at a large university are approximately bell-shaped, with a mean of 66 inches and standard deviation of 3 inches.

According to the Empirical Rule, for bell-shaped distributions, about 68% of the values fall within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

About 68% woman have height between ( 66-3) inches and (66+3) inches.

i.e. About 68% woman have height between 63 inches and 69 inches.

The percentage of woman have height either less than 69 inches or greater than 69 inches =100% - 68%= 32% [both share equal area on curve.]

The percentage of woman have height  is 69 inches or taller = 32%÷2

= 16%

Hence, the probability that a randomly selected woman from this university is 69 inches or taller =16%=0.16
