  • Mean=48
  • Standard deviation=6

Now range of majority:-


\\ \sf\longmapsto 48-6\to 48+6


\\ \sf\longmapsto 42\to 54

Answer:

between 42 and 54 on the data set

Explanation:

standard deviation is the typical variance from the mean so just add and subtract 6 units each direction to get where most of the data is.
