Answer:

68.2% of the data falls within 1 standard deviation of the mean

Explanation:

When we look at the curve for standard deviation, 34.1 % falls within 1 standard deviation below the mean and 34.1 % falls within 1 standard deviation above the mean.

34.1 + 34.1 = 38.2 %

68.2% of the data falls within 1 standard deviation of the mean
