By the definition of standard deviation, 95.46% of the normal population will be within 2 SD of the mean. Explanation: The normal distribution of a population means it follows the "bell curve". The center of this bell curve is the population's mean value. One standard deviation defines two areas (on the left and right side of the central "mean" value) under the bell curve that each have 34.13% of the population. The next standard deviation adds two additional areas under the curve, each having 13.6% of the population. Adding the areas under the curves on both sides gives us (34.13% + 13.6%) x 2 = 95.46%
The answer will depend on what the distribution is. Non-statisticians often assum that the variable that they are interested in follows the Standard Normal distribution. This assumption must be justified. If that is the case then the answer is 81.9%

95% is within 2 standard deviations of the mean.
95 percent of measurements are less than 2 standard deviations away from the mean, assuming a normal distribution.

A normal distribution with a mean of 65 and a standard deviation of 2.5 would have 95% of the population being between 60 and 70, i.e. +/- two standard deviations.
It depends on the shape of the distribution. For standard normal distribution, a two tailed range would be from -1.15 sd to + 1.15 sd.
Approximately 2 standard deviations (1.96, actually) from the mean. That is important to know that if one has a sample of 1000 values, if one selects a threshold at +/- 2 standard deviations from the mean, then one expects to see about 25 values exceeding those thresholds (on each side of the mean)
It means that 95% of the values in the data set falls within 2 standard deviations of the mean value.

Above 1.96: 0.024998 = 2.5% below 1.96: 0.975002 = 97.5%
I'm assuming "genius" means an unusual value (more than two standard deviations) in the right tail. This is (100 - 95.45)/2 = 2.275 percent, approximately. So: 6,575,000,000 * 0.02275 = 149,581,250 geniuses ... not that special, huh?
