    At least 95% of data falls between 4 and 20.

    Step-by-step explanation:

    The Empirical Rule states that, for a normally distributed random variable:

    68% of the measures are within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

    95% of the measures are within 2 standard deviation of the mean.

    99.7% of the measures are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

    In this problem, we have that:

    Mean = 12

    Standard deviation = 4

    At least what percent of data falls between 4 and 20?

    4 = 12 - 2*4

    So 4 is two standard deviations below the mean

    20 = 12 + 2*4

    So 20 is two standard deviations above the mean

    By the Empirical Rule, at least 95% of data falls between 4 and 20.
