The heights of adult males in Neverland are normally distributed with mean of 69 inches and standard deviation of inches. a) What proportion of adult males in Neverland are taller than 6 feet (72 inches)? b) What proportion of adult males are between and 6 feet tall. c) How tall must a male be to be among the tallest % of the population? d) How "tall" must a male be to be among the shortest third of the population?. The lifetime of a certain type of television tube is normally distributed with mean 3.8 years and standard deviation of.2 years. a) Suppose that the tube is guaranteed for two years. What proportion of TVs will require a new tube before the guarantee expires? b) If the company wishes to set the warranty period so that only 4% of the tubes would need replacement while under warranty, how long a warranty must be set? c) What proportion of TVs will last for over years? 6. The lifetimes of a certain type of light bulbs follow a normal distribution. If 9% of the bulbs have lives exceeding 2 hours and 3% have lives exceeding 6 hours, what are the mean and standard deviation of the lifetimes of this particular type of light bulbs. 7.
