Answer :
This can be solved by using the empirical rule for a normal distribution.
A. The number of skateboards given is one standard deviation above the mean. Approximately 68% of the data points lie within the range plus and minus one standard deviation of the mean. Therefore the required percentage is:
68 + 16 = 84%.
B. The given number of skateboards is two standard deviations above the mean. Approximately 95% of the data points lie within the range plus and minus two standard deviations of the mean. Therefore the required percentage is:
5/2 = 2.5%
C.The given number of skateboards is one standard deviations below the mean. Therefore the required percentage is:
16%.

Answer:
(Use the normal distribution graph below to help you solve problems like this)
a) 34 + 34 + 13.5 + 2.35 + 0.15 = 84%
b) 2.35 + 0.15 = 2.5%
c) 13.5 + 2.35 + 0.15 = 16%
