Help Please with Question?
Which sentence correctly describes a data set that follows a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 4 and a mean of 14?
Out of the answers I had I choose
68% of the data points lie between 10 and 18.
I'm not sure how you get 68%. I took the mean and subtracted the SD to get 10 and then the mean plus the SD to get 18. Is this correct?
