The distribution of speed follows an approximately Normal distribution with a mean of 80 mph and a standard deviation of 7.7 mph.
Use the 'show your work' section to put in the Delorean speeds under the axis for the Normal Distribution Model.
Then answer:
What speed is 2 standard deviations above the mean?
Be sure to include units 'mph' in your answer.
I will check your normal curve data values, points will be subtracted if it is not correct.
