There is a 68–95–99.7 rule for a normal random variable.

Beyond one standard deviation, we have 31.8% of the points.

For standard Random normal distribution variable, the graph looks like this

normal curve

Normal random variable differs from its mean μ by more than σ = (same as saying) = Area under the graph (-infinity to σ) + (σ to infinity)= 100-68.26 = 31.74 i.e. probability of 0.3174
