    You would expect 95% of your customers to stay in the store from 43.1 minutes to 57.5 minutes.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

    68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

    95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

    99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

    In this problem, we have that:

    Mean = 50.3 minutes

    Standard deviation = 3.6 minutes

    Within what range would you expect 95% of your customers to stay in your store?

    Within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

    So from

    50.3 - 2*3.6 = 43.1 minutes

    To

    50.3 + 2*3.6 = 57.5 minutes

    You would expect 95% of your customers to stay in the store from 43.1 minutes to 57.5 minutes.
