After collecting the data, Christopher finds that the total snowfall per year in Reamstown is normally distributed with mean 94 inches and standard deviation 14 inches. What is the probability that, in a randomly selected year, the snowfall was greater than 52 inches? Use the empirical rule. Provide the final answer as a percent rounded to two decimal places.

99.85

Step-by-step explanation:

$99.85\text{ %}$

Notice that 52 inches is three standard deviations less than the mean. Based on the Empirical Rule, 99.7% of the yearly snowfalls are within three standard deviations of the mean. Since the normal distribution is symmetric, this implies that 0.15% of the yearly snowfalls are less than three standard deviations below the mean. Alternatively, 99.85% of the yearly snowfalls are greater than three standard deviations below the mean.

in problems involving proportions, we can use cross products to test whether two ratios are equal and form a proportion. to find the cross products of a proportion, we multiply the outer terms, called the extremes, and the middle terms, called the means.
