You can put this solution on YOUR website! I am not sure if there is part of the question missing or not, however, applying the 68-95-99.7 rule,
68% falls within 1 st dev = 12.25 - 1.7 and 12.25 + 1.7 or (10.55, 13.95)
95% falls within 2 st dev = 12.25 - 2(1.7) and 12.25 + 2(1.7) or (8.85, 15.65)
99.7% falls with 3 st dev = 12.25 - 3(1.7) and 12.25 + 3(1.7) or (7.15, 17.35)
