Question 189965: Samples of wires coming off the production line were tested for tensile strength. the statistical results ( in PSI) were:
Arithmetic mean = 500; Mode=500; Quartile deviation=25; Range=240; Median=500; Standard deviation=40; Mean deviation=32; Number in sample=100.
According to the empirical Rule, The middle 95% of the wires tested between approximately what two values?

According to the empirical Rule, The middle 95% of the wires tested between approximately what two values?
-----------------------------------------
95% of the measurements are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.
mean-2(stand dev) = 500-2(40) = 420
mean+2(stand dev) = 500+2(40) = 580
-----
Ans: between 420 and 580
