You can put this solution on YOUR website! Suppose you have a normal distribution of test scores with a mean of 50 and a standard deviation of 5. What percentage falls between 40 and 60?
----
40 is 2 standard deviations below the mean.
60 is 2 standard deviations above the mean.
-----
Chebyshev says the answer is "at least 1 - (1/2)^2 = 75%
-----
The standard normal distribution says
P(-2 < z <= 2) = normalcdf(-2,2) = 0.9545 = 95.45%
