Hi
For the normal distribution: 
one  standard deviation from the mean accounts for about 68% of the set 
two standard deviations from the mean account for about 95%
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 (x value the mean) 50% of the area under the curve is to the left and %50 to the right
