3. The Empirical Rule is also known as the rule.
4. In a normal distribution, about 99.7% of the data falls within standard deviations of the mean.
5. The scores on a standardized test are normally distributed with a mean of 500 and a standard deviation of 100. What percentage of students scored between 400 and 600?
6. A factory produces light bulbs with a mean lifespan of 10,000 hours and a standard deviation of 500 hours. Assuming the lifespan is normally distributed, what is the range in which 95% of the light bulbs will fall?
Use the diagram below to answer the following questions.
