The lifespans of meerkats in a particular zoo are normally distributed. The average meerkat lives 13.113.113, point, 1 years; th

e standard deviation is 1.51.51, point, 5 years. Use the empirical rule (68 - 95 - 99.7\%)(68−95−99.7%)left parenthesis, 68, minus, 95, minus, 99, point, 7, percent, right parenthesis to estimate the probability of a meerkat living longer than 14.614.614, point, 6 years.

Answer:

The Probability = 0.16

Step-by-step explanation:

Empirical rule formula states that:

68% of data falls within 1 standard deviation from the mean - that means between μ - σ and μ + σ.

95% of data falls within 2 standard deviations from the mean - between μ – 2σ and μ + 2σ.

99.7% of data falls within 3 standard deviations from the mean - between μ - 3σ and μ + 3σ.

Average = 13.1 years

Standard deviation = 1.5 years

x = 14.6 years

= 14.6 -13.1/1.5

= 1

This falls within 1 standard deviations of the mean

68% of data falls within 1 standard deviation from the mean - that means between μ - σ and μ + σ.

Hence:

100 - 68%/2 = 32/2 = 16%

Converting to probability = 0.16

The probability of a meerkat living longer than 14.6 years is 0.16
