**Question:**

Approximately 95% of the data values will fall within ___ standard deviation(s) of the ___.

**Options:**
- One, mean
- Two, mean
- One, mode
- Two, median

**Explanation:**

In the context of a normal distribution, approximately 95% of the data values are expected to lie within two standard deviations of the mean. This principle is derived from the empirical rule (or 68-95-99.7 rule) which states the following for a normal distribution:
- About 68% of the data falls within one standard deviation of the mean.
- About 95% of the data falls within two standard deviations of the mean.
- About 99.7% of the data falls within three standard deviations of the mean.
