Question

aThe weight of oranges growing in an orchard is normally distributed with a meanweight of 6 oz. and a standard deviation of 0.5 oz. Using the empirical rule, determinewhat interval would represent weights of the middle 95% of all oranges from thisorchard.

Answer 1

Answer:

The interval that represents the weight of the middle 95% of all oranges is

5 < X < 7

Explanation:

Parameters:

Mean, u = 6

Standard deviation, s = 0.5

The interval that represents the weight of the middle 95% of all oranges using the empirical rule is:

u - 2s < X < u + 2s

6 - 2(0.5) < X < 6 + 2(0.5)

6 - 1 < X < 6 + 1

5 < X < 7
