The population of males’ heights can be represented using the normal distribution curve. You are given that the mean height of Males is 174cm and the standard deviation is 5cm. The population of females’ heights can be represented using the normal distribution curve. You are given that the mean height of Females is 164.5cm and the standard deviation is 6cm. Choose the distribution suited to your height and complete the questions below.
To choose the distribution suited to your height, we need to compare your height to the given means and standard deviations of both males and females.
Let's consider the normal distribution curves for both males and females:
- The population of males' heights follows a normal distribution curve with a mean of 174cm and a standard deviation of 5cm.
- The population of females' heights follows a normal distribution curve with a mean of 164.5cm and a standard deviation of 6cm.
Now, let's determine which distribution is better suited for your height by comparing your height to the mean heights provided.
If your height is closer to the mean height of males (174cm), it would be more appropriate to use the male's distribution. On the other hand, if your height is closer to the mean height of females (164.5cm), it would be more appropriate to use the female's distribution.
To make this determination, you need to know your own height and then compare it to both mean heights given.
Once you have identified which distribution is most suitable for your height, I can assist you further with any questions you have about that specific distribution.
