Expert Solution
Step 1

Empirical rule

According to empirical rule , 

1)68% of data falls within the first standard deviation from the mean
In mathematical notation, this is represented as: μ ± 1σ 

2) 95% fall within two standard deviations
In mathematical notation, this is represented as: μ ± 2σ

3)99.7% fall within three standard deviations.
In mathematical notation, this is represented as: μ ± 3σ
