Suppose X is subject to normal distribution with the population mean 7, and the standard deviation 2, what are the lower and upper values of X, located symmetrically around the mean, that will include 95% area under the curve?
-----
Draw a normal curve
Let the base be an x-line
Put x= 7 in the middle
Center 95% of the area around the x = 7 point.
-----
Note: That leaves 2 1/2% on the left end and 2 1/2% on the right end.

Ans: invNorm(0.025,7,2) = 3.080 and invNorm(0.97.5,7,2) = 10.920
