Answer:

95% of the data falls between 0.64 and 3.92

Step-by-step explanation:

Using the Empirical Rule, 95% of the data will fall 2 standard deviations above and below the mean. Therefore, from the mean of 2.28, the lower change will be 2.28 - 2(0.82)= 0.64 and the upper change will be 2.28 + 2(0.82)= 3.92‬
