Question

A study was designed to investigate the effects of two variables ​(1) a​ student's level of mathematical anxiety and​ (2) teaching method on a​ student's achievement in a mathematics course. Students who had a low level of mathematical anxiety were taught using the traditional expository method. These students obtained a mean score of with a standard deviation of on a standardized test. Assuming a​ mound-shaped and symmetric​ distribution, in what range would approximately ​% of the students​ score?

Answer 1

Answer:

Solution using the Empirical Rule, which is explained here.

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

The question is incomplete, but you solve this using the Empirical Rule.
