The blood platelet counts of a group of women have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of

246.9

and a standard deviation of

61.5.

(All units are 1000

cells/L.)

Using the empirical rule, find each approximate percentage below.

a	What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts within 2 standard deviations of the mean, or between 123.9 and 369.9?
b.	What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 185.4 and 308.4?
