Does .5 mean 50% (not likely) or .05 mean 5%? i will go with 5%
<--(mean - 2(standard deviation))--(mean - (standard deviation))--(mean)--(mean + (standard deviation))--(%)mean + 2(standard deviation))-->
<- 2% -(60%)- 14% -(65%)- 34% -(70%)- 34% -(75%)- 14% -(80%)- 2% ->
|---all---|----most----|---------some------------|----most-----|----all----|
--->
---> 85% > x > 55%
