Wait times at a dentist's office are typically 21 minutes, with a standard deviation of 2 minutes. What percentage of people should be seen by the doctor between 17 and 25 minutes for this to be considered a normal distribution?

Answer:

95%

Step by step explanation:

z = 17-21 / 2 and z = 25-21/2

z=-2 (2.28%) z=2 (97.72%)

97.72 - 2.28 = 5.44

100% - 5.44% is about equal to 95%
