use the empirical rule to estimate the area lying between values x=1100 and x=2600 under the normal curve that has mean 2100 and standard deviation 500. do not use calculator
-------------------------
z(1100) = (1100-2100)/500 = 2
z(2600) = (2600-2100)/500 = 1
--------------------------------
The area from z=0 to z=2 is (1/2)95% = 47.5%
The area from z=0 to z=1 is (1/2)68% = 34%
----------------------------
So, the area from z=1 to z=2 is 47.5%-34% = 13.5%
