The average height of women in the U.S. is 64 inches and the standard deviation is 2.4 inches. Assuming a Gaussian distribution, what fraction of women in the U.S. have a height greater than 68 inches?

Find the z-score:  z  =  (score - average) / standard deviation

--->  z  =  (68 - 64) / 2.4   --->  z  =  1.6667

Finding normalcdf(1.6667, 100)  =  0.04775  --->   0.048
