According to question
Avg = 8.1
SD = 0.3
1.5 SD = 0.45

So essentially find all those values that are with in 7.65 and 8.55

So answer is E

We are looking for all numbers that fall within the 1.5 standard deviations from the Mean parameter.

The parameters are Mean +or- (1.5) * ( Standard Deviation) or 8.5 + or -.45

Or count all values of the 12 presented that lie between 7.65 and 8.55

Answer = E

Should be 7.65 and not 7.55
8.1-0.45 = 7.65
