Question

The heights of WNBA basketball players arenormally distributed. What percentage ofthese heights is within 2 standard deviationsof the mean?

Answer 1

hello

to solve this problem, we have to use emperical rule

given that we are asked to find the percentage of the height of basketball players that fall within 2 standard deviations, the answer is 95%

emperical rule is a statistical data which states that

so when we have 1 standard deviation, the data have a range within 68%

for 2 standard deviation, the data have a range of 95%

and for 3 and above, the date would have a range of 99.7%.

so with respect to this question, the answer is 95%
