Question

The mean of a set of normally distributed data is 600 with a standard deviation of 20. What percent of the data is between 580 and 620?.

Answer 1

We know that 68.26% of data is between 580 and 620 using a normal distribution table.

What is a normal distribution?

A data set must (when graphed) follow a bell-shaped, symmetrical curve that is centered around the mean in order to be regarded as having a normal distribution.

Additionally, it must follow the empirical rule that shows the proportion of the data set that lies within (plus or minus) 1, 2, and 3 standard deviations of the mean.

So, we know that:

μ = 600

σ = 20

Use the equation:
z - score = x-μ/σ

580 in the data's Z-score:

= 580-600/20

= -20/20

= -1

While the data's z-score in 620:

= 620-600/20

= 20/20

= 1

Using a table of the normal distribution:

P(580 < z) = 0.1587

Also, P(620 > z) = 0.8413

As a result, the percent of the data that falls between 580 and 620 is given by: P(620 > z) - P(580 z).

= 0.8413  - 0.1587

= 0.6826

= 68.26 %

Therefore, we know that 68.26% of the data is between 580 and 620 using a normal distribution table.
