Hi

For the normal distribution: 

one  standard deviation from the mean accounts for about 68.2% of the set **** 

two standard deviations from the mean account for about 95.4%

and three standard deviations from the mean account for about 99.7%.

Important to Understand z -values as they relate to the Standard Normal curve:

Below:  z = 0, z = ± 1, z= ±2 , z= ±3 are plotted.  

Note: z = 0 , 50% of the area under the curve is to the left and 50%  to the right
