Algebra.Com's Answer #737700 by Boreal(15235)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! subtracting 176 from both heights, then dividing by 8 cm sd, one obtains within+/- 3 sd s, so 99.7% are within the height limits \n" ); document.write( "The second one is +/- 1 sd, and that would be 68%. \n" ); document.write( " |
