One study looked at the average number of minutes per day that people spend standing or walking.
Among mildly obese people, minutes of activity varied according to the N(373, 67) distribution.
Minutes of activity for lean people had the N(526, 107) distribution.

  1. Z = (score-mean)/SD

    95% = Z = ±1.96

    Values for A-D are not 95%.

    Find table in the back of your statistics text labeled something like "areas under normal distribution" to find the percentages related to the Z scores.
