Assume that the heights of American men are normally distributed with a mean of 176.5 centimeters and a standard deviation of 8.9 centimeters. Use this information to answer the questions. What is the probability that a randomly selected man will be between $1.73 \mathrm{~m}$ and $1.85 \mathrm{~m}$ tall?

Find the indicated probability and interpret the results. If convenient, use technology to find the probability. Heights of Men The mean height of men in the United States (ages $20-29$ ) is 69.4 inches. A random sample of 60 men in this age group is selected. What is the probability that the mean height for the sample is greater than 70 inches? Assume $\sigma=2.9$ inches. (Adapted from National Center for Health Statistics)
