Question

Use the empirical rule to choose the best value for the percentage of the area under the curve that is shaded and find the values of U,V, and W

Answer 1

`99.7\%`

1) Considering the empirical rule to be graphically displayed as:

2) So, comparing both graphs, we can tell that the area under the curve can be expressed as:

`100-(34\%+34\%+13.5\%+13.5\%\:+2.35\%+2.35\%)=99.7\%`

Considering the whole area beneath the curve is 100%.
