Answer 5

I get mean = 32.3
sigma = 6.45 so 2 sigma = 2*6.45 = 12'9
and here is your list ordered

mean - 12.9 = 19.4 , below your whole list

21.0
23.0
24.0

note - here is mean + 12.9 - below your list
your whole list is within 2 sigma of mean 100%
19/28 is within 1 sigma of mean
100 * 19/28 = 68% within 1 sigma
