Answer to Question 1

natural bounds for x: 0 ounces and 16 ounces; The variable x is continuous since the values of x correspond to the
points in some interval.

Answer to Question 2

The value 101 falls one standard deviation above the mean in the distribution. Using the Empirical Rule, 68 of the
days will have between 85 and 101 jobs submitted. Of the remaining 32 of the days, half, or 32/2 = 16, of the
days will have more than 101 jobs submitted.
