A manufacturer finds the life expectancy of a dishwasher to be 11 years. The standard deviation for the lifespan is 1 year. What percent of the washers will last from 9 to 13 years?
----------------------------------
z(9) = (9-11)/1 = -2
z(13) = (13-11)/1 = 2
--------------------------
P(9<= x <=13) = P(-2<= z <= 2) = 0.9545...
