A student is given data that follows a normal distribution. According to the data, the mean amount of time that students spent reading outside of school each month was 10 hours, and the standard deviation was 2 hours. The student creates a normal distribution curve to model the situation and labels the curve so that 34% of the students fall in the range between 10 and 12 hours. Select the information that justifies the student's labeling. a. Only 68% of the students will fall in the range of 10- 2 and 10 + 2 hours.
b. Only 95% of the students will fall in the range of 10-2 and 10+2 hours
c. Only 68% of the students will fall in the range of 10-6 and 10+6 hours
d. Only 95%of the students will fall in the range of 10 -8 and 10 + 8 hours.

a. Only 68% of the students will fall in the range of 10- 2 and 10 + 2 hours.

Step-by-step explanation:

He appies the empirical 68-95-99.7 rule, where 68% of the data is expected to be within ne standard deviation from the mean, to the right and to the left.

Half of this (68%/2=34%) will be between the mean and one deviation standard to the right. This is between 10 hours and 10+2=12 hours.

The right answer is:

a. Only 68% of the students will fall in the range of 10- 2 and 10 + 2 hours.

step-by-step explanation:

region b will make the inequalities y < 2x + 1 and y > -x - 2 true ⇒ answer a

step-by-step explanation:

* lets study the graph and the inequality to solve the question

- the inequality y > -x - 2

∵ the form of the inequality is y > mx + c , m is the slope of the line

  and c is the y-intercept (the line intersect y-axis at point (0 , c)

∴ c = -2 that means the line intersect the y-axis at point (0 , -2)

∵ the sign of the inequality is >

∴ we shad the part over the line

  region a and b

- the inequality y < 2x + 1

∵ the form of the inequality is y > mx + c , m is the slope of the line

  and c is the y-intercept (the line intersect y-axis at point (0 , c)

∴ c = 1 that means the line intersect the y-axis at point (0 , 1)

∵ the sign of the inequality is <

∴ we shad the part under the line

  region b and c

∵ the common region between the two lines is region b

∴ region b will make the inequalities y < 2x + 1 and y > -x - 2 true
