Expert Answer
Given:
X: Widget weights
Mean = μ = 61
Standard deviation = σ = 4
Empirical rule tells us that within one standard deviation from mean 68% of data lie, within two standard deviations from mean 95% of data lie, and within 3 standard deviations from mean 99.7% of data lie as shown in figure.

Therefore, 1 standard deviation, L-61-4= 57 La614= 65 That is P(57< X<65)= 0.68=68% 2 standard deviation, -20 61-2x4 = 53 +20 612x 4 69 That is, P(53X<69) =0.95-95% 3 standard deviation, -30 61-3x4= 49 30 61+3x 4 = 73 That is, P/49 X<73) -0.997=99.7%
a)68% of the widget.
So, we can say 68% of the data lie...
