At Burnt Mesa Pueblo, archaeological studies have used the method of tree-ring dating in an effort to determine when prehistoric people lived in the pueblo. Wood from several excavations gave a mean of (year) 1256 with a standard deviation of 41 years. The distribution of dates was more or less mound-shaped and symmetrical about the mean. Use the empirical rule to estimate the following.
(a) a range of years centered about the mean in which about 68% of the data (tree-ring dates) will be found
between and A. D.
(b) a range of years centered about the mean in which about 95% of the data (tree-ring dates) will be found
between and A. D.
(c) a range of years centered about the mean in which almost all the data (tree-ring dates) will be found
between and A. D.

a) (1215, 1297)

b) (1174,  1338)

c) (1133, 1379)      

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 1256

Standard Deviation, σ = 41

Empirical Rule:

a) range of years centered about the mean in which about 68% of the data lies

68% of data will be found between 1215 years and 1297 years.

b) range of years centered about the mean in which about 95% of the data lies

95% of data will be found between 1174 years and 1338 years.

c) range of years centered about the mean in which about all of the data lies

All of data will be found between 1133 years and 1379 years.
