The right-hand "tail" of the standard normal curve can be defined as the part of it that lies at least two standard deviations to the right of the mean. The left-hand "tail" of the standard normal curve can be defined as the part of it that lies at least two standard deviations to the left of the mean.

According to the Empirical Rule, approximately what percentage of the area under the whole curve is in the two tails? (Hint: find the percentage for each tail individually.) Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

Please help me, thanks!
