a) 99.7% of the organs will be between 250 and 420 grams.

b) 95% of the organs weighs between 280 grams and 400 grams.

c) 5% of the organs weighs less than 280 grams or more than 400 grams.

d) 97.5% of the organs weighs between 250 grams and 400 grams.

Step-by-step explanation:

The mean value of the weight of an organ is 340 grams and the standard deviation is 30 grams, so $\mu = 340, \sigma = 30$ .

(a) About 99.7% of organs will be between what weights?

The Empirical Rule states that 99.7% of the values of X of a set with mean $\mu$ and standard deviation $\sigma$ belong to the following interval

$\mu - 3\sigma \leq X \leq \mu + 3\sigma$

We have that $\mu = 340, \sigma = 30$ , so:

$\mu - 3\sigma \leq X \leq \mu + 3\sigma$

$340 - 3(30) \leq X \leq 340 + 3(30)$

$250 \leq X \leq 420$

99.7% of the organs will be between 250 and 420 grams.

(b) What percentage of organs weighs between 280 grams and 400 grams?

280 grams is 2 standard deviations below the mean.

400 grams is 2 standard deviations above the mean.

The Empirical rule states that 95% of the weights of the organs are between 2 standard deviations of the mean, so

95% of the organs weighs between 280 grams and 400 grams.

95% of the organs weighs between 280 grams and 400 grams. This means that 5% of the organs weighs less than 280 grams or more than 400 grams.

(d) What percentage of organs weighs between 250 grams and 400 grams?

250 grams is 3 standard deviations below the mean.

The Empirical rule states that 50% of the weights are above the mean, and 50% are below. Of those that are below, 100% weights at least 3 standard deviations below the mean.

400 grams is 2 standard deviations above the mean.

Of the values that are above the mean, 95% of them are at most 2 standard deviations above the mean.

So:

P = 0.5 + 0.95(0.5) = 0.5 + 0.475 = 0.975

97.5% of the organs weighs between 250 grams and 400 grams.
