A researcher studying frogs is investigating the distance that a certain species of frog can jump. The jump lengths appear to be approximately normally distributed with a mean of 90 inches and a standard deviation of 15 inches. Directions: Make a sketch of the "empirical rule" for this setting. a) What proportion of frog jumps are less than 60 inches? b) What jump lengths represent the middle 95% of frog jumps? Between and c) What is the probability of observing a random frog jump that is longer than 105 inches?
