    A. The empirical rule tells you that 68% of observations fall within one standard deviation of the mean for a normal distribution. [32, 38] = 35 ±3, so your interval is within one standard deviation of the mean.

    68% of observations will fall between 32 and 38

    B. The distribution is symmetrical about the mean, so half of the observations in part A will be below the mean.

    34% of observations will fall between 32 and 35

    C. The distribution is symmetrical about the mean, so half the observations fall above the mean.

    50% of observations will fall above 35

    D. The distribution is symmetrical about the mean, so half the observations will fall below the mean, 35. As in part B, 34% will fall between the mean and one standard deviation above the mean, 38. The sum of these percentages is 84%.

    84% of observations will fall below 38
