For the normal distribution:
one standard deviation from the mean accounts for about 68.2% of the set ****
two standard deviations from the mean account for about 95.4%
and three standard deviations from the mean account for about 99.7%.
µ = 6 and σ = 1
what percentage of the trees should he expect to fall between 6 feet and 7 feet?
