21 = µ - 3σ
35 = µ - σ
so check your Z table for this interval
A company has a policy of retiring company cars; this policy looks at number of miles driven, purpose of trips, style of car and other features. The distribution of the number of months in service for the fleet of cars is bell-shaped and has a mean of 42 months and a standard deviation of 7 months. Using the empirical rule (as presented in the book), what is the approximate percentage of cars that remain in service between 21 and 35 months?
