-----------------
Comment: 99.74 refers to the percentage of population that falls within
three standard deviations of the mean (i.e. three to the right of the mean
and three to the left of the mean).
----------------------------------------
99.74 of men in country A have brain weights btw 1.40-3*0.13 & 1.40+3*0.13
