A certain characteristic in a large population has a distribution that is symmetric about the mean m. If 64 percent of the distribution lies within one standard deviation d of the mean, what percent of the distribution is less than m + d ? Select
A) 16 %	B) 32 %	C) 48 %	D) 82 %	E) 92 %

Rationale: "this is easiest to solve with a bell - curve histogram . m here is equal to µ in the gaussian normal distribution and thus m = 50 % of the total population . so , if 64 % is one st . dev , then on either side of m we have 64 / 2 = 32 % . so , 32 % are to the right and left of m ( = 50 % ) . in other words , our value m + d = 50 + 32 = 82 % goingfrom the mean m , to the right of the distributionin the bell shaped histogram . . this means that 82 % of the values are below m + d . like i said , doing it on a bell - curve histogram is much easier to fullygethow this works , or you could apply gmat percentile jargon / theory to it d"
Answer: D
