Which sentence correctly describes a data set that follows a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 4 and a mean of 14?

68% of the data points lie between 10 and 14.

68% of the data points lie between 8 and 12.

68% of the data points lie between 10 and 18.

68% of the data points lie between 10 and 16.

Option (c) is correct.

68% of the data points lie between 10 and 18.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given :  a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 4 and a mean of 14

We have to choose the  sentence that correctly describes a data set that follows a normal distribution with a standard deviation of 4 and a mean of 14.

Since, given 68% data.

We know mean of data lies in middle.

And standard deviation is distribute equally about the mean that is 50% of values less than the mean  and 50% greater than the mean.

So, 68% of data lies

mean - standard deviation = 14 - 4 = 10

mean + standard deviation = 14 + 4 = 18

So, 68% of the data points lie between 10 and 18.

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.
