For a set of data that are distributed in a bell or mound shape, approximately what percentage of values will lie between the mean and two standard deviations?
A
68%
B
85%
C
95%
D
99.7%
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -The empirical rule (also called the “68-95-99.7 rule") is a guideline for how data is distributed in a normal distribution. The rule states that (approximately):-68% of the data points will fall within one standard deviation of the mean.-95% of the data points will fall within two standard deviations of the mean.

Detailed explanation-2: -A normal distribution has some interesting properties: it has a bell shape, the mean and median are equal, and 68% of the data falls within 1 standard deviation.

Detailed explanation-3: -The Empirical Rule states that 99.7% of data observed following a normal distribution lies within 3 standard deviations of the mean. Under this rule, 68% of the data falls within one standard deviation, 95% percent within two standard deviations, and 99.7% within three standard deviations from the mean.
