document.write( "For the normal distribution: 
\n" );
document.write( "one  standard deviation from the mean accounts for about 68% of the set 
\n" );
document.write( "two standard deviations from the mean account for about 95%
\n" );
document.write( "and three standard deviations from the mean account for about 99.7%.
\n" );
