Exercise

Exercise 5. Estimating the number seven footers

Now we have an approximation for the proportion, call it p, of men that are 7 feet tall or taller.

We know that there are about 1 billion men between the ages of 18 and 40 in the world, the age range for the NBA.

Can we use the normal distribution to estimate how many of these 1 billion men are at least seven feet tall?

Instructions

  • Use your answer to the previous exercise to estimate the proportion of men that are seven feet tall or taller in the world and store that value as p.
  • Then multiply this value by 1 billion (10^9) round the number of 18-40 year old men who are seven feet tall or taller to the nearest integer with round. (Do not store this value in an object.)
