Question

The empirical rule can be used to determine the percentage of candies with weights between __________ and __________ grams.

a) 0 and 1
b) 1 and 2
c) 2 and 3
d) 3 and 4

Answer 1

The empirical rule can be used to determine the percentage of candies with weights between 2 and 3 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

The empirical rule can be used to determine the percentage of candies with weights between 2 and 3 grams.

To apply the empirical rule, we need to know the mean and standard deviation of the weights. Unfortunately, this information is not provided in the question. The empirical rule states that approximately 68% of the candies will have weights within one standard deviation of the mean, approximately 95% will have weights within two standard deviations of the mean, and approximately 99.7% will have weights within three standard deviations of the mean.

Since we don't have the mean and standard deviation, we can't determine the exact percentage of candies with weights between 2 and 3 grams using the empirical rule.
