The empirical rule you're referring to is the 68-95-99.7 rule, which asserts that for a normal (bell-shaped) distribution, approximately 68% of the distribution lies within 1 standard deviation of the mean; 95% lies within 2 standard deviations of the mean; and 99.7% lies within 3 standard deviations of the mean.
Let be the random variable denoting vehicle speeds along this highway. We want to find
. To use the rule, we need to rephrase this probability in terms of the mean and standard deviation.
Notice that , and
. In other words, 61 and 79 both lie exactly 3 standard deviations away from the mean, so
.
well, keeping in mind that a year has 12 months, that means that 8 months is 8/12 of a year, when Mrs Rojas pull her money out.
well, she put in 6000 bucks, got back 160 extra, that's the interest earned in the 8 months.
what if she had left her money for 1 whole year, then
so had she left it in for a year, she'd have gotten 6240, namely 240 in interest, well, what fraction of a year's interest was earned? or worded differently, what fraction is 160(8 months) of 240(1 year)?
