A.) About what percentage of the population falls within -1 and -2 standard deviations from the mean? I am not sure if the answer would be 47.7% (34.13 + 13.59) or just 13.59% because the wording of the question is confusing me.
B.) About what percentage of the population falls below -2 standard deviations from the mean? I think the answer is about 2.3% (.13 + 2.14) but I am not fully sure.
Any help is greatly appreciated, thank you for you time!

A.) The wording is slightly ambiguous. Most likely, they mean between -1 and -2 standard deviations from the mean, which is just 13.59%. If, however, they mean
within -1 and within -2 standard deviations from the mean, the answer should be "34.13% and 47.7%, respectively." You should ask for clarification.
