The blood platelet counts of a group of women have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 247.9 and a standard deviation of 64.7. (All units are 1000 cells/μL.) Using the empirical rule, find each approximate percentage below. a. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 2 standard deviations of the mean, or between 118.5 and 377.3? b. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 53.8 and 442.0?

A) Approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 2 standard deviations of the mean, or between 118.5 and 377.3 = 95%

B) approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 53.8 and 442.0 = 99.7%

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given;

mean;μ = 247.9

standard deviation;σ = 64.7

A) We want to find the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 2 standard deviations of the mean, or between 118.5 and 377.3.

Now, from the image attached, we can see that from the empirical curve, the probability of 1 standard deviation from the mean is (34% + 34%) = 68 %.

While probability of 2 standard deviations from the mean is (13.5% + 34% + 34% + 13.5%) = 95%

Thus, approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 2 standard deviations of the mean, or between 118.5 and 377.3 = 95%

B) Now, we want to find the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 53.8 and 442.0.

53.8 and 442.0 represents 3 standard deviations from the mean.

Let's confirm that.

Since mean;μ = 247.9

standard deviation;σ = 64.7 ;

μ = 247.9

σ = 64.7

μ + 3σ = 247.9 + 3(64.7) = 442

Also;

μ - 3σ = 247.9 - 3(64.7) = 53.8

Again from the empirical curve attached, we cans that at 3 standard deviations from the mean, we have a percentage probability of;

(2.35% + 13.5% + 34% + 34% + 13.5% + 2.35%) = 99.7%
