A random sample of hawk hunting speeds has a sample mean of $\bar{x} = 68.5$ mph and sample standard deviation of $s = 11.2$ mph. Use the Empirical Rule to determine the approximate percentage of hawk hunting speeds that lie between 46.1 and 90.9 mph. Round your answer to the nearest whole number (percent). Provide your answer below: %

Step 1
The Empirical Rule (or 68-95-99.7 Rule) states that for a normal distribution: - Approximately 68% of the data falls within 1 standard deviation of the mean. - Approximately 95% of the data falls within 2 standard deviations of the mean. - Approximately 99.7% of Show more…

2.4.29 Use the Empirical Rule. The mean speed of sample vehicles on a stretch of highway is 63 miles per hour, with a standard deviation of 4 miles per hour. Estimate the percentage of vehicles whose speed is between 55 miles per hour and 71 miles per hour (Assume the data set has a bell-shaped distribution). Approximately vehicles travel between 55 miles per hour and 71 miles per hour.

Use the Empirical Rule. The mean speed of a sample of vehicles along a stretch of highway is 65 miles per hour, with a standard deviation of 4 miles per hour. Estimate the percent of vehicles whose speeds are between 53 miles per hour and 77 miles per hour. (Assume the data set has a bell-shaped distribution.) Approximately % of vehicles travel between 53 miles per hour and 77 miles per hour.
