The annual per capita consumption of ice cream (in pounds) in the United States can be approximated by a normal distribution with mean of 20.7 Ibs and a standard deviation of 4.2 Ibs. What proportion of randomly selected people living in the US consume between 15 Ibs and 30 lbs of ice cream on average yearly? (NOTE: this is just another way to ask: Find the probability that a randomly selected person living in the US consumes between 15 lbs and 30 Ibs of ice cream on average yearly?) Answer in a complete sentence in context.
