    Given:

    Mean population = 289,294

    Standard deviation = 461,176

    percentage of the population of all counties is within 1 standard deviation of the mean

    Let us follow the 68-95-99.7 rule

    For the normal distribution, the values less than one standard deviation away from the mean account for 68% of the set; while two standard deviations from the mean account for 95%; and three standard deviations account for 99.7%.

    The percentage of population of all counties within one standard deviation of the mean is 68%
