An article reported that the mean annual adult consumption of wine was 3.85 gallons and that the standard deviation was 6.07 gallons. Would you use the empirical rule to approximate the proportion of adults who consume more than 9.92 gallons (i. E., the proportion of adults whose consumption value exceeds the mean by more than 1 standard deviation)? Explain your reasoning. (Round your numerical answer to three decimal places.)

0.159 is the required proportion.

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given the following information in the question:

Mean, μ = 3.85 gallons

Standard Deviation, σ = 6.07 gallons

We are given that the distribution of consumption of wine is a bell shaped distribution that is a normal distribution.

Empirical Formula:

We have to evaluate:

0.159 is the proportion of adults whose consumption value exceeds the mean by more than 1 standard deviation.

slope is 35 and 20 miles is the y-intercept.
