simply stating an answer of 95% has no study value in it whatsoever. Please do not just provide an answer without backing it up with some sort of reasoning, otherwise all the site becomes is a free answering service.

70 is 2 standard deviations less than the mean and 130 is 2 SD more than it. \[pr( \mu - 2\sigma \le x \le \mu + 2\sigma )= 0.9545\]
