The extract of a plant native to Taiwan has been tested as a possible treatment for Leukemia. One of the chemical compounds produced from the plant was analyzed for a particular collagen. The collagen amount was found to be normally distributed with a mean of 62 and standard deviation of 6.9 grams per mililiter.

What percentage of compounds formed from the extract of this plant fall within  2 standard deviations of the mean?

Approximately 95.45% falls within 2 standard deviations of the mean.

 

This is true of any normal distribution, irrespective of the actual values of the mean and standard deviation.
