Suppose that shoe sizes of American women have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 8.47 and a standard deviation of 1.5 . Using the empirical rule, what percentage of American women have shoe sizes that are less than 11.47 ? Please do not round your answer.

Normally distributed observations such as a person's weight, height, or shoe size occur quite frequently in nature. Business people who are aware of this use it to their advantage. A purchasing agent for a large retailer buying 15,000 pairs of women's shoes used the normal curve to decide on the order quantities for the various sizes. If women's average shoe size is 7.5 with a standard deviation of 1.5, how many pairs should be ordered between sizes 6.5 and 9? Select one: A. 8640 B. 8864 C. 8940 D. 8849 E. 8664

A contractor decided to build homes that will include the middle $80 \%$ of the market. If the average size of homes built is 1810 square feet, find the maximum and minimum sizes of the homes the contractor should build. Assume that the standard deviation is 92 square feet and the variable is normally distributed.
