27. A random variable X has a bell-shaped symmetric distribu- tion, with expected value = 200 and standard deviation σ 20. The empirical rule tells us that X has a value greater than approximately 0.15% of the time. 28. A random variable X has a bell-shaped symmetric distribu- tion, with expected value = 100 and standard deviation σ = 30. Use the empirical rule to give an interval in which X lies approximately 95% of the time.
