The <em><u>correct answer</u></em> is:
We can conclude that 68% of the scores were between 55 and 85; 95% of the scores were between 40 and 100; and 99.7% of the scores were between 25 and 100.
Explanation:
The empirical rule tells us that in a normal curve, 68% of data lie within 1 standard deviation of the mean; 95% of data lie within 2 standard deviations of the mean; and 99.7% of data lie within 3 standard deviations of the mean.
The mean is 70 and the standard deviation is 15. This means 1 standard deviation below the mean is 70-15 = 55 and one standard deviation above the mean is 70+15 = 85. 68% of data will fall between these two scores.
2 standard deviations below the mean is 70-15(2) = 40 and two standard deviations above the mean is 70+15(2) = 100. 95% of data will fall between these two scores.
3 standard deviations below the mean is 70-15(3) = 25 and three standard deviations above the mean is 70+15(3) = 115. However, a student cannot score above 100%; this means 99.7% of data fall between 25 and 100.
Answer:
b
Step-by-step explanation:
Each box represents 1/3. 5/3 of white is 2 boxes more so red needs 2 boxes more than white. 5 red and 3 white is the only one that follows the criteria.
Adding three consecutive odd or even numbers is the same as multiplying the middle value by 3
So it starts with 12 in the bacterial population. After 1 hour, 6 are added. After another hour passed, 9 are added. 12/1, 18/6, 27/9.
