Find a central eighty-percent interval

If X∼N(70,25)X\sim N(70,25), find aa such that P(∣X−70∣<a)=0.8P(|X-70|<a)=0.8. Hence find the limits containing the central 80% of the distribution.

Identify the mean and take the square root of the variance.

Convert the event to an interval and sketch the shaded area.

Use normalcdf with lower bound, upper bound, mean and standard deviation in that order.
