Suppose a normally distributed set of data with 7800 observations has a mean of 188 and a standard deviation of 18. Use the 68-9

5-99.7 Rule to determine the number of observations in the data set expected to be below a value of 242. Round your result to the nearest single observation.

Answer:

7788 observations are expected to be below a value of 242.

Step-by-step explanation:

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

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

95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

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

In this problem, we have that:

Mean = 188, standard deviation = 18

The normal distribution is symmetric, which means that 50% of the measures are below the mean and 50% are above.

Percentage of observations below 242:

242 = 188 + 3*18

So 242 is three standard deviations above the mean

Of the measures below the mean, all are below 242.

Of the measures above the mean, 99.7% are between the mean of 188 and three standard deviations above the mean(242). So the percentage is:

[tex}P = 0.5 + 0.997*0.5 = 0.9985[/tex]

Number of observations below 242:

99.85% of 7800 observations

0.9985*7800 = 7788

7788 observations are expected to be below a value of 242.
