Question

Ms. fudge recently gave an algebra 1 test. the scores were normally distributed with a mean of 74 and a standard deviation of 8. find each of the following. write as a percent.

Answer 1

Using the Empirical Rule, it is found that there is a 68% probability that a student scored between 66 and 82.

What does the Empirical Rule state?

It 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.

In this problem, considering the mean of 74 and the standard deviation of 8, we have that:

74 - 8 = 66

74 + 8 = 82.

Hence, there is a 68% probability that a student scored between 66 and 82.
