Question

The weights of 2-pound bags of Best Dog Food are approximately normally distributed with a given mean Mu and standard deviation Sigma. According to the Empirical Rule, what percentage of the bags will have weights within 3 standard deviations of the mean?

Answer 1

99.7%

Explanation:

Answer 2

Answer: The required percentage would be 99.7%.

Explanation:

Since we have given that

It is normally distributed.

mean =
`\mu`

Standard deviation =
`\sigma`

Weight = 2 pounds bag

We need to find the percentage of the bags will have weights within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

So, it becomes :

`\mu +2\sigma`

As we know that Approximately 99.7% data falls within 3 standard deviation of the mean.

Hence, the required percentage would be 99.7%.
