Question 419959: I have no idea how to enter this into a graphing calculator...
A study of motor vehicle rates in the 50 states reveals that traffic death rates (deaths per 100 million motor vehicle miles driven) can be modeled by the normal curve. The data suggest that the distribution has a mean of 5.3 and a standard deviation of 1.3. Sketch the normal curve, showing the mean and standard deviation.

A study of motor vehicle rates in the 50 states reveals that traffic death rates (deaths per 100 million motor vehicle miles driven) can be modeled by the normal curve.
------------------------------------------------
The data suggest that the distribution has a mean of 5.3 and a standard deviation of 1.3. Sketch the normal curve, showing the mean and standard deviation.
---
Sketch the curve. (Use Google if you do not know what a normal curve
looks like.)
--
Put the mean value on the base line in the middle of the curve.
---
Mark a point 1.3 to the right and another 1.3 to the left of 5.3.
---
Each of those points is about 1/3 the distance from the center to
the tail of the curve.
