OpenStudy (anonymous):

check this in the mean time

OpenStudy (anonymous):

huh?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

95% is within 2 standard deviations

OpenStudy (anonymous):

subtract and add 8.40 to 31

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that's a)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

31-8.40 =22.60 and 31 + 8.40 = 39.40

OpenStudy (anonymous):

get it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

where did you get 8.40?

OpenStudy (campbell_st):

to find the upper and lower limits use the fact that approx 95% of data in a normal distribution falls within 2 standard deviations of the mean \[$31 \pm 2\times 4.20\] (b) $18.40 is 3 standard deviations below and $43.60 is 3 standard deviations above the mean. approx 99.7% of all data in a normal distribution falls with 3 standard deviations of the mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yep

OpenStudy (anonymous):

so what's the answer?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

4.20 twice ....2 standard deviations from the mean ... did you even read the problem? :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

yes i understand that but why double it?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

1 standard deviation is 4.20 ... 95% of data in a normal distribution falls within 2 standard deviations of the mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I don't think I've learned this topic.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

that was the question ... 95% of the company's cab rides falls between ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I read it, but it's still a little confusing. yes i am

OpenStudy (anonymous):
