Respuesta :

Using the Empirical Rule, it is found that the correct option is:

No, because the minimum is too close to the mean.

----------------------------------

  • The Empirical Rule states that, in a normal distribution, 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean, 95% are within 2 and 99.7% are within 3.

In this problem:

  • The mean is of $10,614.
  • The standard deviation is of $8,049.
  • The minimum is of $1,873.
  • The maximum is of $30,823.

The lower bound of the 95% within 2 standard deviation of the mean is:

10614 - 2(8049) = -$5,484.

Which is a negative number considerably lower than the minimum, which indicates that the minimum is too close to the mean, and the distribution is not normal.
