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

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

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