The Empirical Rule states that:

1. Approximately 68% of all observations fall within one standard


deviation of the mean.
2. Approximately 95% of all observations fall within two standard
deviations of the mean.
3. Approximately 99.7% of all observations fall within three standard
deviations of the mean.

Mean = 16, Standard Deviation = 4

Therefore, 20 = 16 + 4which is 1 standard deviation to the right of the mean

68 %
Therefore the probability = =34 %
