<PRE><B>Question 255708</B>
The mean of the times it takes a commuter to get to work in Baltimore is 29.7 minutes. If the standard deviation is 6 minutes, within what liits would you expect approximately 68% of the times to fall? Assume the distribution is approximately bell-shaped.
---------------
68% of the times are within one standard deviation of the mean time.
-----
mean-std = 29.7-6 = 23.7 minutes
---
mean+std = 29.7+6 = 35.7 minutes
