Mean = 36
S.D = 5

Calculate values beyond ( 3.5 * SD ).

3.5*5 = 17.5.

We get two values +17.5 and -17.5

Mean + 17.5 = 36+17.5 = 53.5

Mean - 17.5 = 36 -17.5 = 18.5

Values beyond this range ( 18.5 ————— 53.5) is option A 18

Mean= 36
SD= 5
Values more than 3.5 SD= +-(3.5*5=17.5)
36+17.5 and 36-17.5= 53.5 and 18.5
18 is not within this range.
