In any normally distributed population, 95% of the results will be within 2 standard deviations either side of the norm - known as a 95% confidence interval.

One standard deviation either side of the norm will cover 68%.

Have a look under the heading 'Rules For Normally Distributed Data' [url= http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_deviation ]here[/url]

How can you prove it is normally distributed data though?

Kolmogorov-Smirnov or Shapiro-Wilk will test a sample for normality.
