Solution

The question seems to be asking for the range of heights that would include about 95% of men aged 18 to 24, given that their heights are normally distributed with a mean of 173cm and a standard deviation of 6.5cm.

In a normal distribution, about 95% of the data falls within two standard deviations of the mean.

Step 1: Calculate the lower limit of the range by subtracting two standard deviations from the mean.

173cm - 2(6.5cm) = 173cm - 13cm = 160cm

Step 2: Calculate the upper limit of the range by adding two standard deviations to the mean.

173cm + 2(6.5cm) = 173cm + 13cm = 186cm

So, the range of heights that includes about 95% of men aged 18 to 24 is from 160cm to 186cm. Therefore, the correct answer is 160.0cm to 186cm.
