The blood platelet counts of a group of women have a bell-shaped distribution with a mean of 257.5 and a standard deviation of 66.2. (All units are 1000 cells/μL.) 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 125.1 and 389.9? b. What is the approximate percentage of women with platelet counts between 58.9 and 456.1?
