Question 1.74

1.74 Heights of young men.

Product designers often must consider physical characteristics of their target population. For example, the distribution of heights of men aged 20 to 29 years is approximately Normal with mean 69 inches and standard deviation 2.5 inches. Draw a Normal curve on which this mean and standard deviation are correctly located. (Hint: Draw the curve first, locate the points where the curvature changes, then mark the horizontal axis.)
