While the histogram is not perfectly symmetric (there is mild right skewness), it is close enough to being symmetric and bell-shaped to justify using the 68-95-99.7 rule. Suppose the distribution of calories in a Chipotle meal can be considered symmetric and bell-shaped with mean 1079 calories and standard deviation 296 calories. Use the 68-95-99.7 rule to answer the following questions. a. What is the approximate percentage of the Chipotle meals that have between 487 and 1671 calories? b. The middle 99.7% of Chipotle meals have between  calories and  calories? c. What is the approximate percentage of the Chipotle meals that have between 783 and 1375 calories

What do people actually order at Chipotle? How healthy is a normal Chipotle meal? Chipotle and other relatively new fast casual chains like Shake Shack, Potbelly and Five Guys typically promote themselves as having healthier menu choices than the traditional fast food outlets like McDonald's, Taco Bell, Burger King, etc.

The recommended daily calorie intake for most adults is 1,600 to 2,400. The histogram below shows the calories in approximately 3,000 meals ordered from Chipotle on Grubhub.
