The heights of students in a class are normally distributed with mean 55 inches and standard deviation 5 inches. use the empirical rule to determine the interval and contains the middle 68% of the heights.

a) [40,70]

b)[45,70]

c)[50,60]

d)[45,65]

e)[47,63]

d)none of the above

 c)[50,60]

Step-by-step explanation:

The Empirical rule says that , About 68% of the population lies with the one standard deviation from the mean (For normally distribution).

We are given that , The heights of students in a class are normally distributed with mean 55 inches and standard deviation 5 inches.

Then by Empirical rule, about 68% of the heights of students lies between one standard deviation from mean.

i.e. about 68% of the heights of students lies between

i.e. about 68% of the heights of students lies between

Here,

i.e.  The required interval that contains the middle 68% of the heights. = [50,60]

Hence, the correct answer is c) (50,60)

x = 25

step-by-step explanation:

a^2+b^2=c^2

7^2+24^2=c^2

49+576=625

sqrt625=25

x=25

900 degrees
