Solution
Solution Steps
Step 1: Given Probabilities
The probabilities for the heights of study participants are as follows:
The probability that a participant is less than 66 inches tall is \( P(X < 66) = 0.1711 \).
The probability that a participant is between 66 and 72 inches tall is \( P(66 < X < 72) = 0.5378 \).
The probability that a participant is more than 72 inches tall is \( P(X > 72) = 0.2912 \).
Step 2: Assessing Unusual Events
To determine if any of these events are unusual, we check if their probabilities are less than \( 0.05 \):
For \( P(X < 66) = 0.1711 \): This is not unusual since \( 0.1711 > 0.05 \).
For \( P(66 < X < 72) = 0.5378 \): This is not unusual since \( 0.5378 > 0.05 \).
For \( P(X > 72) = 0.2912 \): This is not unusual since \( 0.2912 > 0.05 \).
Step 3: Conclusion on Unusual Events
Since all calculated probabilities are greater than \( 0.05 \), we conclude that there are no unusual events among the heights of the study participants.
Final Answer
The answer is \( \boxed{D} \) (There are no unusual events because all the probabilities are greater than 0.05).
