A study on the average minutes spent by students on internet usage is 300 with a standard deviation of 102. Answer the following questions assuming a bell-shaped distribution and using the empirical rule. What percentage of students use the internet for more than 402 minutes?.



Answer :

The percentage of students that use the internet for more than 402 minutes =  16%

Percentage

Percentage, often referred to as percent, is a fraction of 100. Percentage means "per 100," and denotes part a total amount. For example, 45% represents 45 out of 100.

calculate the percentage-

The empirical rule states that

68% of the population lies within 1 standard deviation of the mean

95% of the population lies within 2 standard deviations of the mean

99.7% of the population lies within 3 standard deviations of the mean

Standard Deviation

A standard deviation (or σ) is a measure of how dispersed the data is in relation to the mean. Low standard deviation means data are clustered around the mean, and high standard deviation indicates data are more spread out.

The percentage will be illustrated in this:

P(X > 402) = P(X > 30 + 1 × 102)

= (1-0.68) / 2

= 0.32/2

= 16%

The percentage of students that use the internet for more than 402 minutes =  16%.
