- Suppose that the amount of caffeine (in milligrams) in an 16 fluid ounce energy drink can be modeled by the Normal Distribution with a mean of 250 mg and a standard deviation of 70 mg. What is the caffeine content of the 70th percentile of energy drinks? Interpret this value. The 70th percentile is 287 mg. This means that 70% of energy drinks will have caffeine less than or equal to 287 mg. The 70th percentile is 287 mg. This means that 70% of energy drinks will have caffeine greater than or equal to 287 mg. The 70th percentile is 213 mg. This means that 70% of energy drinks will have caffeine greater than or equal to 213 mg. The 70th percentile is 213 mg. This means that 70% of energy drinks will have caffeine less than or equal to 213 mg.arrow_forwarda quantitative data set has mean 25 and standard deviation 2. approximately what percentage of the observations lie between 21 and 29?arrow_forwardThe difference between the largest and the smallest data values is the А. variance В. interquartile range C. range D. coefficient of variationarrow_forward
