The weight of oranges growing in an orchard is normally distributed with a mean weight of 6.5 oz. and a standard deviation of 1.5 oz. Using the empirical rule, determine what interval would represent weights of the middle 99.7% of all oranges from this orchard.

Add 3 standard deviations above and below the mean to get the range in which 99.7% of the data in a normal distribution will fall
6.5 + 4.5 = 11
6.5 - 4.5 = 2
So 2 to 11 ounces would be the interval

Answer:

(3.5, 9.5)
