Example My MathLab Homework question
Suppose 160 geology students measure the mass of an ore sample. Due to human error and limitations in the reliability of the​ balance, not all the readings are equal. The results are found to closely approximate a normal​ curve, with mean 83 g and standard deviation 3 g. Use the symmetry of the normal curve and the empirical rule as needed to estimate the number of students reporting readings between 74 g and 92 g.
