Answer:
95% of these scores are between 210 and 362.
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 = 286, Standard deviation = 38
Use the 68-95-99.7 rule to give a range of scores that includes 95% of these students.
This is within 2 standard deviations of the mean. So
286 - 2*38 = 286 - 76 = 210
286 + 2*38 = 286 + 76 = 362
95% of these scores are between 210 and 362.
