- If a loaf is 28 centimeters long, how many standard
deviation(s) is it from the mean? Show all work. (2 points)
- What percentage of the loaves are expected to be between 30 to
34 centimeters in length? Explain. (2 points)
- What percentage of the loaves are expected to be between 28 to
36 centimeters in length? Explain. (2 points)
- If the baker found out that one of the loaves turned out to be
40 centimeters long, is that considered an outlier? Explain. (2
