Question 1121725: Heights of men on a baseball team have a​ bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 176 cm and a standard deviation of 8 cm. Using the empirical​ rule, what is the approximate percentage of the men between the following​ values?
a. 152 cm and 200 cm
b. 168 cm and 184 cm
______% of the men are between 152 cm and 200 cm
______% b.of the men are between 168 cm and 184 cm

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
The second one is +/- 1 sd, and that would be 68%.
