The weights of healthy domesticated kittens at ten weeks of age are approximately are approximately normally distributed with a mean of 23 ounces and a standard deviation of 3.7 ounces.
The heights of women have a symmetric distribution with a mean of 66 inches and a standard deviation of 2.5 inches.
Solution :
Using Empirical rule,
P( - 1< X < + 1) = 68%
P( - 2< X < + 2) = 95%
P( - 3< X < + 3) = 99.7%
