    you are randomly selecting 100 people from a population that is normally distributed. Are you certain to get exactly 95 people who lie within two standard deviations of the mean?

    This is the Empirical Rule.

    68% lies within 1 standard deviation, 95% lies within two, and 99.7 lies within 3.
