We have been given that the lifespans of lions in a particular zoo are normally distributed. The average lion lives 12.5 years; the standard  deviation is 2.4 years. We are asked to find the probability of a lion living longer than 10.1 years using empirical rule.

First of all, we will find the z-score corresponding to sample score 10.1.

z=\frac{x-\mu}{\sigma}, where,

z = z-score,

x = Random sample score,

\mu = Mean

\sigma = Standard deviation.

z=\frac{10.1-12.5}{2.4}

z=\frac{-2.4}{2.4}

z=-1

Since z-score of 10.1 is -1. Now we need to find area under curve that is below one standard deviation from mean.

We know that approximately 68% of data points lie between one standard deviation from mean.

We also know that 50% of data points are above mean and 50% of data points are below mean.

To find the probability of a data point with z-score -1, we will subtract half of 68% from 50%.

\frac{68\%}{2}=34\%

50\%-34\%=16\%

Therefore, the probability of a lion living longer than 10.1 years is approximately 16%.
