The heights of giraffes are known to be normally distributed (That is we expect them to have a bell-shaped histogram) with a mean of 156 inches and a standard deviation of 15 inches. Tall Paul is 2.5 standard deviations taller than the mean. How tall, inches, is Tall Paul? 193.5 inches 167.5 inches 118.5 inches 2.5 inches

The mean height of an adult giraffe is 19 feet. Suppose that the distribution is normally distributed with a standard deviation of 0.9 feet. Let X be the height of a randomly selected adult giraffe. Round all answers to 4 decimal places where possible. a. What is the distribution of X? X ~ N(19, 0.9) b. What is the median giraffe height? ft. c. What is the Z-score for a giraffe that is 22 feet tall? d. What is the probability that a randomly selected giraffe will be shorter than 18.9 feet tall? e. What is the probability that a randomly selected giraffe will be between 18.5 and 19.4 feet tall? f. The 85th percentile for the height of giraffes is ft.

00:01 So we have the heights of giraffes following a normal distribution with an average of 156 inches and the standard deviation of 15 inches.
00:20 And then we have tall pole which is 2 .5 standard deviation is taller than the mean...
