Answer:

Part A: 81.5%

Part B: About 95% of the data lie between 53 and 65.

Explanation:

Note: the percentages marked in red and blue never change

For Part A, we add the percentages that are between 53 and 62. So, 34% + 34% + 13.5% which is 81.5%

For Part B, we can look at this graph and seen that 95% of this data set lies between 53 and 65

Hope this is correct and of help!
