Using the Empirical Rule, it is found that the critical value for a 68% confidence interval is given by:
A. 1.
What does the Empirical Rule state?
It states that, for a normally distributed random variable:
- Approximately 68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.
- Approximately 95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviations of the mean.
- Approximately 99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.
In this problem, we want the 68% confidence interval, hence Zcl = 1 and option A is correct.
