The annual rainfall in a certain region is modeled using the normal distribution shown below. The mean of the distribution is 36.4 cm and the standard deviation is 4.9 cm. In the figure, V is a number along the axis and is under the highest part of the curve. And, U and W are numbers along the axis that are each the same distance away from V. Use the empirical rule to choose the best value for the percentage of the area under the curve that is shaded, and find the values of U, V, and W.

Find the area of the shaded region. The graph to the right depicts IQ scores of adults, and those scores are normally distributed with a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 15. A symmetric bell-shaped curve is plotted over a horizontal scale. A vertical line runs from the scale to the curve at labeled coordinate 84, which is to the left of the curve’s center and peak. The area under the curve to the right of the vertical line is shaded. The area of the shaded region is (Round to four decimal places as needed.)
