Hey there mate :)

Analysis :

[tex]401 = 515 - 114 = u - 6[/tex]

And

[tex]173 = 515 - 3.114 = u - 36[/tex]

[tex] = \frac{p(u - 36 < u < u + 36) - p(u - 6 < u < u + 6)}{2} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{99.73percent - 68.21percent}{2} [/tex]

[tex] = \frac{31.46percent}{2} [/tex]

[tex] = {15.73percent}[/tex]

Then, calculating,

[tex]u - 26 = 515 - 2 \times 114 = 287[/tex]

And

[tex]u + 26 = 515 + 2 \times 114 = 743[/tex]

Then,

[tex]The \: Range = (287,743)[/tex]

Final Answers :-

15.73 %

(287,743)
