I believe the standard deviations are measured from the median, not the mean.

  • 1 Standard Deviation is 34% each side of median, so that is 68% total.
  • 2 Standard Deviations is 48% each side of median, so that is 96% total.

What is the difference between t-distribution and standard normal distribution?

the t distributions take into account the variability of the sample standard deviations. I think that it is now common to use the t distribution when the population standard deviation is unknown, regardless of the sample size.
