Answer:

The solution is 1,300-1,900

Explanation:

Simply put:

The standard deviation is 100. Because the range is 3 standard deviations, you add and subtract 300 from 1,600 instead of the normal 100.

So,

1,600 - 300 = 1,300

1,600 + 300 = 1,900

So, your answer is the third option: Between 1,300 and 1,900
