Normal Distribution: the 68-95-99.7 Rule68% within ±1σ95% within ±2σmean=median=mode (centre)

In a perfectly normal (bell-shaped) distribution, mean, median, and mode all coincide at the centre; about 68% of data falls within 1 standard deviation of the mean, 95% within 2, and 99.7% within 3 - the empirical rule used to judge how typical or extreme a value is.
