Use mean and standard deviation to fit normal distributions and estimate population percentages with technology.

Estimate the percent within 1, 2, or 3 standard deviations of the mean using the empirical rule

Problem

A data set is modeled by a normal distribution. Using the empirical rule, about what percent of the data would you expect to fall between \(1~\text{standard}~\text{deviation}\) below the mean and \(1~\text{standard}~\text{deviation}\) above the mean?
