Records show that the mean height of these students is 65.2 inches and that the standard deviation is 2.8 inches. The table shows frequency and relative-frequency data for these heights. If you assume that the distribution of heights is approximately normal, then you can use the table to estimate areas under the associated normal curve (that is, under the normal curve that has parameters µ = 65.2 and σ = 2.8). Making this assumption, estimate the area under the associated normal curve between 62 and 67. Height (inches) 57 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 58 59 60 61 62 63 64 65 66 67 68 69 70 71 72 73 74 Freq.
