Answer:

a. 68%

b. 99.7%                

Step-by-step explanation:

Bell-shaped distribution means Normal distribution.

For finding the percentage first we have to calculate the value of: \frac{x-\bar x}{\sigma}

If its value is ±1, then using empirical formula percentage = 68%

If its value is ±2, then using empirical formula percentage = 95%

and, If its value is ±3, then using empirical formula percentage = 99.7%

a. \frac{165 - 173}{8} = -1 \ \ and \ \ \frac{181 - 173}{8} = 1

Thus, 68% of data lie within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

b. \frac{149 - 173}{8} = -3 \ \ and \ \ \frac{197 - 173}{8} = 3

Thus, 99.7% of data lie within 3 standard deviation of the mean.

I have a similar problem here with a slightly different given. 

Heights of men on a baseball team have a bell shaped distrubtion with a mean of 172cm and a standard deviation of 7cm. Using that is the empirical rule, what is the approximate percentage of the men between the following values? 
a) 165 cm and 179cm 
<span>b) 151cm and 193cm
</span>
The solution is:

 <span>a. (165-172)/7 = -1, (179-172)/7 = 1, % by empirical rule = 68% 

b. (151-172)/7 = -3, (193-172)/7 = 3, % by empirical rule = 99.7%
</span>
I hope that by examining the solution for this problem, it could help you  answer your problem on your own.

Show that the line integral is independent of path by finding a function f such that ?f = f. c 2xe?ydx (2y ? x2e?ydy, c is any p
Juli2301 [7.4K]
I'm reading this as

\displaystyle\int_C2xe^{-y}\,\mathrm dx+(2y-x^2e^{-y})\,\mathrm dy

with \nabla f=(2xe^{-y},2y-x^2e^{-y}).

The value of the integral will be independent of the path if we can find a function f(x,y) that satisfies the gradient equation above.

You have

\begin{cases}\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}=2xe^{-y}\\\\\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=2y-x^2e^{-y}\end{cases}

Integrate \dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x} with respect to x. You get

\displaystyle\int\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial x}\,\mathrm dx=\int2xe^{-y}\,\mathrm dx
f=x^2e^{-y}+g(y)

Differentiate with respect to y. You get

\dfrac{\partial f}{\partial y}=\dfrac{\partial}{\partial y}[x^2e^{-y}+g(y)]
2y-x^2e^{-y}=-x^2e^{-y}+g'(y)
2y=g'(y)

Integrate both sides with respect to y to arrive at

\displaystyle\int2y\,\mathrm dy=\int g'(y)\,\mathrm dy
y^2=g(y)+C
g(y)=y^2+C

So you have

f(x,y)=x^2e^{-y}+y^2+C

The gradient is continuous for all x,y, so the fundamental theorem of calculus applies, and so the value of the integral, regardless of the path taken, is

\displaystyle\int_C2xe^{-y}\,\mathrm dx+(2y-x^2e^{-y})\,\mathrm dy=f(4,1)-f(1,0)=\frac9e
