Idaho Potato Growers Association ships potatoes to its distributors in bags in whose weights are normally distributed with a mean weight of 50 pounds and a standard deviation of .5 pounds. If a bag of potatoes is selected at random from a shipment, what is the probability that it weights between 49 and 51 pounds?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

95%, because 49 and 51 are both 2 standard deviations away from the mean of 50.
