Using the empirical rule, roughly 68% of the distribution is between z = -1 and z = 1. Also, about 95% of the distribution lies between z = -2 and z = 2. Finally, roughly 99.7% of the distribution is between z = -3 and z = 3

Hi,
What percentage of the area of the standard normal distribution is between z = -2.00 and z = +2.00?
two standard deviations from the mean account for about 95.45%
P(-2< z <2 ) = NORMSDIST(2) - NORMSDIST(-2) = .97725 - .02275 = .9545 OR 95.45%
