Math Problem Statement
The weight of an organ in adult males has a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 340 grams and a standard deviation of 15 grams. Use the empirical rule to determine the following. (a) About 95% of organs will be between what weights? (b) What percentage of organs weighs between 325 grams and 355 grams? (c) What percentage of organs weighs less than 325 grams or more than 355 grams? (d) What percentage of organs weighs between 310 grams and 385 grams?
