Question

For males in a certain town, the systolic blood pressure is normally distributed with a
mean of 110 and a standard deviation of 6. Using the empirical rule, what percentage
of males in the town have a systolic blood pressure
between 92 and 128?

Answer 1

Answer:

99.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

Note that 92 and 128 are 3 standard deviations from the mean

The emperical rule or the  68–95–99.7 rule states that 68% of outcomes are wihtin 1 standard deviation from the mean

95% of outcomes are within 2 standard deviations from the mean

99.7% of outcomes are within 3 standard devations from the mean

This is 3 standard deviations so the answer is 99.7
