4. What percentage of the high temperatures are within the interval X- - S to X- + S?

5. What percentage of the high temperatures are within the intervalX-  - 2S to X- + 2S?

6. How do these percentages compare to the corresponding percentages for a normal distribution (68.26% and 95.44%, respectively)?

7. Repeat Parts 2 to 6 for the minimum temperatures on your spreadsheet.
