    About 95% of rats weight is between 2.5+2 * standard deviation=2.5+2*0.5=2.5+1=3.5 and 2.5-1=1.5 (1.5,3.5).

    About 68% of rats weight is between (2.5-1*standard deviation, 2.5+1*standard deviation), (2,3).

    This means that about 68 percent of rats in the city weigh between 2 pounds and 3 pounds. (solution b)
