Answer:

• B. 4

,

• C. 68.269%

,

• D. 95.45%

,

• E. 99.73%

,

• F. 34.134%

,

• H. 84.134%

Step-by-step explanation:

The empirical rule tells us that:

• Around 68% of scores are within 2 standard deviations of the mean,

,

• Around 95% of scores are within 4 standard deviations of the mean,

,

• Around 99.7% of scores are within 6 standard deviations of the mean.

Part B


\begin{gathered} \sigma=62-58=66-62 \\ \sigma=4 \end{gathered}

Part C: Between 58 and 66


\begin{gathered} P((58-62)/(4)Part D: Between 54 and 70.[tex]\begin{gathered} P((54-62)/(4)Part E: Between 50 and 74.[tex]\begin{gathered} P((50-62)/(4)Part F: Between 62 and 66.[tex]\begin{gathered} P((62-62)/(4)Part G: Less than 62.[tex]\begin{gathered} P(x<(62-62)/(4)) \\ =P(x<0) \\ =0.5 \\ =50\% \end{gathered}

Part H: Less than 66.


\begin{gathered} P(x<(66-62)/(4)) \\ =P(x<(4)/(4))=P(x<1) \\ =0.84134 \\ =84.134\% \end{gathered}
