Normal Distribution Practice

The mean life of a tire is 30,000 km. The standard deviation is 2000 km.

Then, 68% of all tires will have a life between ___________ km and __________ km.

•  28,000 km and 32,000 km.
• 24,000 km and 34,000 km.
• 26,000 km and 34,000 km.
• 27,000 km and 31,000 km.

• the percentile the data value is above or below the mean.
• the amount of standard deviations a data value is above or below the median.
• the percent the data value is above or below the mean.
