f an individual were selected at random from a large group of adult females, the probability that it has height M is precisely 68 inches (that is 68.00 inches) would be zero. What is the probability that M is between 67.00 inches and 68.00 inches.

Solution

The probability of an individual having a height between 67.00 inches and 68.00 inches cannot be determined without additional information. This is because the probability depends on the distribution of heights in the large group of adult females. If we knew, for example, that heights were normally distributed with a certain mean and standard deviation, we could use that information to calculate the probability. However, without that information, it's not possible to give a specific probability.
