Probability of a random sample lying between the mean and one standard deviation?

22 Views Asked by At

Is this a correct way of calculating the probability $P$ of a randomly selected sample from a distribution lying between the mean $\mu$ and the mean + standard deviation $\mu + \sigma$? Let the inverse percentile be $I^{-1}(x)$ then:

$$ P = I^{-1}(\mu+\sigma) - I^{-1}(\mu) $$
