Tallest people a

As a group, the Dutch are amongst the tallest people in the world. The average Dutchman is 184 cm tall. If a normal distribution is appropriate, and the standard deviation for Dutchmen is about 8 cm, what is the percentage of Dutchmen who will be over 2 meters tall?

Correct answer:

p =  0.0228

Step-by-step explanation:

$$\begin{gathered} m=184\text{cm} \\ s=8\text{cm} \\ x=2\text{m}\to \text{cm}=2\cdot 100\text{cm}=200\text{cm} \\ p=N(n,s)>x \\ p=0.0228 \end{gathered}$$

Use the normal distribution table.
