So 68% of children will weigh between 13.5 & 16.5 kg. (15 +- 1.5)Area between two standard deviation on either side of mean will include approximately 95% of the values in distribution. So 95% children will weigh between two standard deviation i.e., between 12 and 18 (15 +- 3).99% of children will weigh b/w three SD ie between 10.5 and 19.5 kg (15 +- 4.5).
