Hi
*Note: {{{z = blue(x - mu)/blue(sigma)}}}
For the normal distribution: Below:  z = 0, z = ± 1, z= ±2 , z= ±3 are plotted.  
Area under the standard normal curve to the left of the particular z is P(z)
Note: z = 0 (x value: the mean) 50% of the area under the curve is to the left and 50%  to the right
{{{drawing(400,200,-5,5,-.5,1.5, graph(400,200,-5,5,-.5,1.5, exp(-x^2/2)), green(line(1,0,1,exp(-1^2/2)),line(-1,0,-1,exp(-1^2/2))),green(line(2,0,2,exp(-2^2/2)),line(-2,0,-2,exp(-2^2/2))),green(line(3,0,3,exp(-3^2/2)),line(-3,0,-3,exp(-3^2/2))),green(line( 0,0, 0,exp(0^2/2))),locate(4.8,-.01,z),locate(4.8,.2,z))}}}
one  standard deviation from the mean accounts for about 68% of the set 
two standard deviations from the mean account for about 95%
and three standard deviations from the mean account for about 99.7%.

mean of 65 inches and a standard deviation of 2.5 inches
P(62.5 > x < 67.5) = P(-1 > z < 1) = ~.68 (Empirical Rule Above)
{{{3000*.68}}} = 2040 women have a height between 62.5 and 67.5 inches
