Question
14. Assume that on the Richter scale magnitudes of earthquakes are normally distributed with a mean of 1.163 and a standard deviation of 0.578. Earthquakes with magnitudes less than 2.000 are considered “microearthquakes" a. that are not felt. What percentage of earthquakes fall into this category? b. Earthquakes above 4.0 will cause indoor items to shake. What percentage of earthquakes fall into this category? С. Find the 95th percentile. Will all earthquakes above the 95th percentile cause indoor items to shake? A. No, because not all earthquakes above the 95th percentile have magnitudes above 4.0 B. No, because no earthquake above the 95th percentile have magnitudes above 4.0. i C. Yes, because earthquakes above the 95th percentile are very rare and powerful. D. Yes, because all earthquakes above the 95th percentile have magnitudes above 4.0.
