Question 1090125: The weight of 10000 items are normally distributed with a mean of 115kg and a standard deviation of 3kg. a) Find the number of items that will have weights that range between 115kg and 118kg. Answer by htmentor(1343) (Show Source):
You can put this solution on YOUR website! In a normal distribution, 68.27% of the values lie within 1 standard deviation of the mean.
In this case, since the mean is 115 and 118 is one standard deviation to the right of the mean,
the number of items will be 0.6827/2*10000 = 3413.5 which rounds up to 3414.
