Question
**Normatively Distributed Data Set Explanation**

In a normally distributed data set with a mean of 31, 95% of the data falls between 27.4 and 34.6. The key question is: what would be the standard deviation of that data set?

### Homework Help Resources:
- **4VG. Empirical Rule with examples** [Link: 4VG Empirical Rule with examples (4:38)]
- **4DE. Standard scores and the Empirical Rule** [Link: 4DE Standard scores and the Empirical Rule (DOCX)]

### Multiple Choice Options:
- [ ] 2.6
- [ ] 7.6
- [ ] 1.8
- [ ] 3.1

### Detailed Explanation:
In a normally distributed data set, the Empirical Rule states that approximately 95% of the data falls within two standard deviations from the mean. This implies:

Mean ± 2 * (Standard Deviation) = Lower Bound and Upper Bound

Given:
- Mean (μ) = 31
- Lower Bound = 27.4
- Upper Bound = 34.6

Using the Empirical Rule:
- 31 - 27.4 = 3.6
- 34.6 - 31 = 3.6

Therefore, 2 * (Standard Deviation) = 3.6
So, Standard Deviation = 3.6 / 2 = 1.8

### Correct Answer:
- [ ] 2.6
- [ ] 7.6
- [x] 1.8
- [ ] 3.1
