The heights of 1567 Douglas fir trees were measured to have a mean of 126.8 ft and a standard deviation of 43.6 ft.
- Assuming this data is normal, determine the percent of trees that you would expect to be shorter than 24 ft.
- Assuming the data is normal, determine the percentage of trees you expect to be taller than 241 ft.
- The shortest and tallest trees measured were 24 ft and 241 ft. Based on the information provided, is it reasonable to treat this data as normal? Explain.
- Suppose a set of data is normally distributed with a mean of 43 and a standard deviation of 12. Determine an upper limit and a lower limit that would encompass the middle 90% of the data.
