Complete Question

The lifespans of lions in a particular zoo are normally distributed. The average lion lives 12.5 years; the standard deviation is 2.4 years. Use the empirical rule (68-95-99.7\%)(68−95−99.7%) to estimate the probability of a lion living between 5.3 to 10. 1 years.

Answer:

Thehe probability of a lion living between 5.3 to 10. 1 years is 0.1585

Step-by-step explanation:

The empirical rule formula states that:

1) 68% of data falls within 1 standard deviation from the mean - that means between μ - σ and μ + σ.

2) 95% of data falls within 2 standard deviations from the mean - between μ – 2σ and μ + 2σ.

3) 99.7% of data falls within 3 standard deviations from the mean - between μ - 3σ and μ + 3σ.

Mean is given in the question as: 12.5

Standard deviation : 2.4 years

We start by applying the first rule

1) 68% of data falls within 1 standard deviation from the mean - that means between μ - σ and μ + σ.

μ - σ

12.5 -2.4

= 10.1

We apply the second rule

2) 95% of data falls within 2 standard deviations from the mean - between μ – 2σ and μ + 2σ.

μ – 2σ

12.5 - 2 × 2.4

12.5 - 4.8

= 7.7

We apply the third rule

3)99.7% of data falls within 3 standard deviations from the mean - between μ - 3σ and μ + 3σ.

μ - 3σ

= 12.5 - 3(2.4)

= 12.5 - 7.2

= 5.3

From the above calculation , we can see that

5.3 years corresponds to one side of 99.7%

Hence,

100 - 99.7%/2 = 0.3%/2

= 0.15%

And 10.1 years corresponds to one side of 68%

Hence

100 - 68%/2 = 32%/2 = 16%

So,the percentage of a lion living between 5.3 to 10. 1 years is calculated as 16% - 0.15%

= 15.85%

Therefore, the probability of a lion living between 5.3 to 10. 1 years

is converted to decimal =

= 15.85/ 100

= 0.1585
