The overhead reach distances of adult females are normally distributed with a mean of 205 cm and a standard deviation of 7.8 cm. A. Find the probability that an individual distance is greater than 218.40 cm. B. Find the probability that the mean for 15 randomly selected distances is greater than 202.80 cm. C. Why can the normal distribution be used in part (b), even though the sample size does not exceed 30?

Given the mean = 205 cm and standard deviation as 7.8cm

a. To calculate the probability that an individual distance is greater than 218.4 cm, we subtract the probability of the distance given (i.e 218.4 cm) from the mean (i.e 205 cm) divided by the standard deviation (i.e 7.8cm) from 1. Therefore, we have 1- P(Z $\leq 1.72$ ). Using the Z distribution table we have 1-0.9573. Therefore P(X >218.4)= 0.0427.

b. To calculate the probability that mean of 15 (i.e n=15) randomly selected distances is greater than 202.8, we subtract the probability of the distance given (i.e 202.8cm) from the mean (i.e 205 cm) divided by the standard deviation (i.e 7.8cm) divided by the square root of mean (i.e n= 15) from 1. Therefore, we have 1- P(Z $\leq -1.09$ ). Using the Z distribution table we have 1-0.1378. Therefore P(X >202.8)= 0.8622.

c. This will also apply to a normally distributed data even if it is not up to the sample size of 30 since the sample distribution is not a skewed one.

Step-by-step explanation:
