For any normal distribution, find the probability that the random variable lies within two standard deviations of the mean.
Added by David G.
Step 1
Second, we need to know that the standard deviation is a measure of how spread out the values in a distribution are around the mean. In a normal distribution, about 68% of the data falls within one standard deviation of the mean, about 95% falls within two Show more…
