The heights of these students are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 67 inches and a standard deviation of 4 inches.
Add this information to the diagram to get:
How many of the students had heights between 71 and 75 inches?
From the diagram, we can see that 14% of the heights are between 71 and 75 inches
14% of 4000 students = (0.14)(4000) = 560
Answer: B
