Answer:
A. Approximately 68%
Step-by-step explanation:
Number of pieces of popcorn in a bucket is normally distributed.
Mean = μ = 1610
Standard deviation = б = 10
We know that in normal distribution, approximately 34% of bags will fall with in one standard deviation on one side. On both sides within the range of 1 standard deviation, 34 + 34 = 68 % of bags will fall.
A table of normal distribution about mean is attached for better understanding.
Our range is:
1600 to 1620
1610 - 10 to 1610 + 10
μ ± б
mean ± 1 standard deviation
Our range is within 1 standard deviation. Hence, Approximately 68% of buckets contain between 1600 and 1620 pieces of popcorn.
