Given that mean = 27 and standard deviation = 6
2 standard deviation = 6 * 2 = 12
Least value = 27 - 12 = 15
Greatest value = 27 + 12 = 39
Therefore, the internal of two standard deviation = 15 to 39

Answer = C

The mean \(=27\)
\(2\) standard deviation \(= 12\)

The least value will be \(27-12=15\)
The greatest value will be \(27+12=39\)

Therefore, C
