Empirical Rule: There is no objective Empirical Rule Example: When using the empirical rule the problem has to call for normal distribution or else you can not use the empirical rule. There are three numbers you have to remember for empirical rule those numbers are; 68%, 95%, and 99.7%. These numbers represent the intervals of information that is included in these margins. The lifespans of gorillas in a particular zoo are normally distributed. The average gorilla lives 16 1 6 years; the standard deviation is 1.7 1 . 7 years. Use empirical rule to estimate the probability of a gorilla living longer than 14.3 years? In order to find the probability I would need to make a normal distribution table and place 16 years as the mean and add and subtract 1.7 as intervals. The numbers I would use would be 9.2, 10.9, 12.6, 14.3, 16, 17.7, 19.4, 21.1, 22.8. Now that I know the numbers I can figure out the percentage. The number 14.3 ...
