Answer:

95% of monthly food expenditures are between $110 and $190.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given : The monthly amounts spent for food by families of four receiving food stamps approximates a symmetrical, normal distribution. The sample mean is $150 and the standard deviation is $20.

To find : Using the Empirical rule, about 95% of the monthly food expenditures are between which of the following two amounts?

Solution :

At 95% of the data is between two standard deviation to left and right of the mean is given by,

To the left side, \bar{x}-2\sigma

To the right side, \bar{x}+2\sigma

We have given,

The sample mean \bar{x}=\$150

The standard deviation \sigma=\$20

Substitute in the formula,

\bar{x}-2\sigma

=150-2(20)

=150-40

=110

\bar{x}+2\sigma

=150+2(20)

=150+40

=190

Therefore, 95% of monthly food expenditures are between $110 and $190.
