Question 1121576: height of men on a baseball team have a bell shaped distribution with a mean of 174 cm and a standard deviation of 7cm. using the empirical rule what is the approximate percentage of the men between 153 cm and 195 cm and 160 cm and 188 cm

Look at the number of standard deviations
153 cm is 21 cm or 3 sd s from 174 and 195 cm is 21 cm or 3 sd s in the other direction.
The approximate percentage between 153 and 195 is 99.7%.
For 160 cm and 188 cm, that is +/- 2 sd s and the probability is 95%
