YodelAir operates a charter jet service out of an airport in a secluded mountain ski resort. The chief safety officer for YodelAir uses a normal distribution with a
mean of 631 m and a standard deviation of 120 m to model the takeoff distance of the company's X15 jets in wintry weather.
Use this table or the ALEKS calculator to find the percentage of takeoff distances between 757 m and 913 m according to the model. For your intermediate
computations, use four or more decimal places. Give your final answer to two decimal places (for example 98.23%).

According to Empirical rule for the bell curves shows that

68% area lies between μ±σ

95% area lies between μ±2σ

99.7% area lies between μ±3σ

Here we have,

The random variable

X= Length of human pregnancies

And given that,

X~N(μ=266,σ=16)
