    (a) 68%

    (b) 0.3%

    (c) 2.5%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Data

    mean = 100 standard deviation (sd) = 17

    (a) mean - sd = 100 - 17 = 83

    mean + sd = 100 + 17 = 117

    The 68-95-99.7 rule states that 68% of the values are within mean ± 1 sd

    (b) mean - 3*sd = 100 - 3*17 = 49

    mean + 3*sd = 100 + 3*17 = 151

    The 68-95-99.7 rule states that 100% - 99.7% = 0.3% of the values are beyond mean ± 3 sd

    (c) mean + 2*sd = 100 + 2*17 = 134

    The 68-95-99.7 rule states that 95% of the values are within mean ± 2 sd, this means that 5/2 = 2.5% of the values are below mean - 2 sd, and 2.5% are above mean + 2 sd
