In a study conducted in 1980, researchers calculated the height difference between couples with kids in the UK. They found that the height difference between husband and wife follows a normal distribution with mean 5.6 inches and standard deviation equal to 3.7 inches.

1) What is the difference in height for the middle 68% of the couples in the study?
2) Calculate the percentage of couples in which the man is 5 inches taller than the woman. (you have to use Table B in the book)
3) (harder) Calculate the percentage of couples that have about the same height. Assume that a couple has the same height when the height difference is less than one inch.

Afriend of mine is giving a dinner party. his current wine supply includes 10 bottles of zinfandel, 8 of merlot, and 11 of cabernet (he only drinks red wine), all from different wineries. (a) if he wants to serve 3 bottles of zinfandel and serving order is important, how many ways are there to do this? ways (b) if 6 bottles of wine are to be randomly selected from the 29 for serving, how many ways are there to do this? ways (c) if 6 bottles are randomly selected, how many ways are there to obtain two bottles of each variety? ways (d) if 6 bottles are randomly selected, what is the probability that this results in two bottles of each variety being chosen? (round your answer to three decimal places.) (e) if 6 bottles are randomly selected, what is the probability that all of them are the same variety? (round your answer to three decimal places.)
