A baking company claims that the average shelf life for its bread is 7 days. Suppose that the standard deviation for the shelf life for this company's bread is 2 days and that the data representing the shelf lives are normally disributed. Approximately what percentage of the company's bread will have a shelf life between 11 and 13 days?
-----
z(11) = (11-7)/2 = 2
z(13) = (13-7)2 = 3
-----
P(11 < x < 13) = P(2 < z < 3) = 0.0214
