By Empirical rule, when k =1, the minimum percentage will be 68% By Empirical rule, when k =2, the minimum percentage will be 95% A 180-30k = 150 K=1, minimum percentage 68% B 180-30k = 120 K=2, minimum percentage = 95% b. By Empirical rule, when k =3, the minimum percentage will be 99.7% 180+30(3) =270 180-30(3)=90 Intervals = [ 90, 270 ]
