in a certain distribution of numbers, the mean is 50 and the standard deviation is 6.
What can you say about the percentage of numbers that lie between 38 and 62?
---------------------
Find the z-value of 38 and of 63
------------------------------------
z(38) = (38-50)/6 = -12/6 = -2
---
z(62) = (62-50)/6 = 12/6 = 2
------------------------------------
P(38 < x < 62) = P(-2 < z < 2) = 0.9545
============================================
Cheers,
Stan H.
