6.12 = 99.61 and = 0.08.
(a) P(99.5 < X < 99.7) = P(1.375 < Z < 1.125) = 0.8697 0.08455 = 0.7852.
(b) P(Z > 1.645) = 0.05; x = (1.645)(0.08) + 99.61 = 99.74.
6.13 z = 1.88, x = (2)(1.88) + 10 = 6.24 years.
6.14 (a) z = (159.75 174.5)/6.9 = 2.14; P(X < 159.75) = P(Z < 2.14) =
0.0162.
Therefore, (1000)(0.0162) = 16 students.
(b) z1 = (171.25 174.5)/6.9 = 0.47, z2 = (182.25 174.5)/6.9 = 1.12.
P(171.25 < X < 182.25) = P(0.47 < Z < 1.12) = 0.8686 0.3192 = 0.5494.
Therefore, (1000)(0.5494) = 549 students.
(c) z1 = (174.75 174.5)/6.9 = 0.04, z2 = (175.25 174.5)/6.9 = 0.11.
P(174.75 < X < 175.25) = P(0.04 < Z < 0.11) = 0.5438 0.5160 = 0.0278.
Therefore, (1000)(0.0278)=28 students.
(d) z = (187.75 174.5)/6.9 = 1.92; P(X > 187.75) = P(Z > 1.92) = 0.0274.
Therefore, (1000)(0.0274) = 27 students.

6.18 (a) x1 = + 1.3 and x2 = 1.3. Then z1 = 1.3 and z2 = 1.3. P(X >

Therefore, 19.36%.
(b) x1 = +0.52 and x2 = 0.52. Then z1 = 0.52 and z2 = 0.52.
