The amount of a monthly phone bill is normally distributed with a mean of $60 and a standard deviation of $12. Fill in the blanks:

68% of her phone bills are between $______________ and $______________.

28 and 100

To fill in the blanks, we need to find the range of values that corresponds to 68% of the phone bills. We know that the phone bills are normally distributed with a mean of $60 and a standard deviation of $12.

First, let's find one standard deviation above and below the mean. Since the standard deviation is $12, one standard deviation below the mean would be $60 - $12 = $48, and one standard deviation above the mean would be $60 + $12 = $72.

Next, we know that in a normal distribution, approximately 68% of the values fall within one standard deviation of the mean. So, 68% of the phone bills would fall between $48 and $72.

Therefore, we can fill in the blanks as follows:
68% of her phone bills are between $48 and $72.
