The length of human pregnancies from conception to birth varies according to a distribution that is approximately Normal with mean 263 days and standard deviation 16 days.
About 99.7% of all pregnancies last between what interval?
---------------------------
Left tail = 0.003/2 = 0.0015
Corresponding z-value = invNorm(0.0015) = -2.9677
----
Corresponding lower day limit = -2.9677*16+263 = 215.51 days
---
Corresponding upper day limit = +2.9677*16+263 = 310.48 days
