99.7% is +/- 3 sd
\n" ); document.write( "The mean is half the sum of 60 and 98 or 79
\n" ); document.write( "The difference between 60 and 79 and 79 and 98 is 19
\n" ); document.write( "each of those is 3 sd
\n" ); document.write( "so the sd is 19/3
\n" ); document.write( "N (69, 19/3)
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
