Respuesta :

Answer:

B; 50%

Step-by-step explanation:

Here, we want to calculate the percentage of women that will not fit in the driver’s seat

We proceed as follows;

We start with calculating the z-score of this;

That would be ;

(x-mean)/SD

in this case;

x = 34 inches

mean = 34 inches

SD = 1.4 inches

Thus, we have that;

(34-34)/1.4 = 0/1.4 = 0

when z-score is 0, we are at the center of the distribution

A z-score of 0 corresponds to exactly 50%
