Math Problem Statement
Assume the data set described is normally distributed with the given mean and standard deviation, and with n total values. Find the approximate number of data values that will fall in the given range.
Mean =360
Standard deviation =19
n=540
Range: 303 to 417
In this case, we expect about data values to fall between 303 and 417.
