Answer:

Mean = 7.38

SD = 0.148

b. 95%

Step-by-step explanation:

Given data is:

7.1 7.5 7.6 7.4 7.3 7.3 7.3 7.5

Mean:

Mean = Sum/No. of values

= (7.1+7.5+7.6+7.4+7.3+7.3+7.3+7.5)/8

=59/8

=7.38

Standard Deviation:

x                  x-x'           (x-x')^2

7.1               -0.28           0.0784

7.5              0.12            0.0144

7.6              0.22           0.0484

7.4              0.02           0.0004

7.3             -0.08           0.0064

7.3             -0.08            0.0064

7.3              -0.08            0.0064

7.5              0.12              0.0144

                      Total :     0.1752

Variance = Sum of squares/No of items

= 0.1752/8 = 0.0219

SD =√0.0219 = 0.148

b. What percentage of the data is within 2 standard deviations of the​ mean?

95% of data is within two standard deviations of mean in a standard normal distribution ..
