Question 1164343: The distribution of the weights of a sample of 1,375 cargo containers is symmetric and bellshaped.
According to the Empirical Rule, what percent of the weights will lie between X⎯⎯⎯−2s and X⎯⎯⎯+2s?
According to the Empirical Rule, what percent of the weights will lie between X⎯⎯⎯and X⎯⎯⎯+ 3s
Below X⎯⎯⎯−3s

95% within +/- 2 sd
99.7% within +/-3 sd
99.95% below 3s (half the difference of 0.3% is 0.15% on each side.)
