The number of potholes inThe number of potholes in any given 1 mile stretch of freeway pavement in Pennsylvania has a bell-shaped distribution. This distribution has a mean of 61 and a standard deviation of 9. Using the empirical rule (as presented in the book), what is the approximate percentage of 1-mile long roadways with potholes numbering between 34 and 70?

What three types of information are needed on order to find an empirical formula from percentage composition data?
· Assume that you have 100.0 g sample of the compound · Calculate the amount of each element in the sample · Convert the mass composition of each element to a composition in moles by dividing by the appropriate molar mass
How do you find out percentage?
You take your percentage and divide it by 100 then times it by your whole number or what you are trying to find the percent of
A number increase from 500 to 625 find the percentage increase?
a number increase from 500 to 625 find the percentage increase
What percentage is 0.2?
To find the percentage, you multiply by 100, so .2 is 20%.
How would you find out what is 30 percent of 215?
simplest form to find out the percentage of a number is to take the percentage (30), turn it into a decimal 30/100 = .30 and multiply by the number that you want the percentage of (215). .30*215=64.5
By the empirical rule what percentage of the area under the normal curve lies to the left of mu the average Put your answer as a percentage?
50%
What is the importance of percentage composition?
Percent composition can be used to calculate the percentage of an element/compound in a mixture. From the percent composition, you can also find the empirical formula. And from the empirical formula you can find the actual molecular weight.
What does the Empirical Rule indicate?
An empirical rule indicates a probability distribution function for a variable which is based on repeated trials.
Can the Empirical Rule of probability be applied to the uniform probability distribution?
Yes, except that if you know that the distribution is uniform there is little point in using the empirical rule.
The Empirical Rule indicates that we can expect to find what proportion of the sample included within plus or and - 2 standard deviation?
The proportion is approx 95%.
Does the empirical rule work for any data set?
No.The empirical rule is a good estimate of the spread of the data given the mean and standard deviation of a data set that follows the normal distribution.If you you have a data set with 10 values, perhaps all 10 the same, you clearly cannot use the empirical rule.
How to use the Empirical Rule to estimate the proportion of costs within two standard deviations of the mean?
IQ scores for adult students age 25-45 have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15.sing the Empirical Rule, what percentage of adult students age 25-45 have IQ scores between 70 and 130?
State the main reason for using the empirical rule rather than chebyshevs theorem?
The empirical rule can only be used for a normal distribution, so I will assume you are referring to a normal distribution. Chebyshev's theorem can be used for any distribution. The empirical rule is more accurate than Chebyshev's theorem for a normal distribution. For 2 standard deviations (sd) from the mean, the empirical rule says 95% of the data are within that, and Chebyshev's theorem says 1 - 1/2^2 = 1 - 1/4 = 3/4 or 75% of the data are within that. From the standard normal distribution chart, the answer for 2 sd from the mean is 95.44% So, as you can see the empirical rule is more accurate.
Statistic question help?
When using Chebyshev's Theorem the minimum percentage of sample observations that will fall within two standard deviations of the mean will be __________ the percentage within two standard deviations if a normal distribution is assumed Empirical Rule smaller than greater than the same as
In the Empirical Rule of data will fall in with two standard deviation.?
Approx 95% of the observations.
How law of constant proportion applied in experiment empirical formula of a compound?
percentage of mg
What is the empirical rule for 1 and 2 standard deviations?
The empirical rule is 68 - 95 - 99.7. 68% is the area for +/- 1 standard deviation (SD) from the mean, 95% is the area for +/- 2 SD from the mean; and 99.7% is the area for +/- 3 SD from the mean.
