  • Answer:

    See below

    Step-by-step explanation:

    On a TI-84, select 2nd+DISTR, then select normalcdf. This is the normal cummulative distributive function which determines the percentage of data that falls between a lower and higher parameter given the mean and standard deviation in a normal distribution.

    Next, you would put 55 for lower, 70 for higher, the mean (μ) as 65, and the standard deviation σ as 10. After pressing ENTER, you will get the result of 0.5328072082

    This means that 53.28% of the data fall between 55 and 70 mph given a mean of 65 and a standard deviation of 10.
