    95%

    Step-by-step explanation:

    We can use the empirical rule of normal distribution to solve this easily.

    It states that

    68% data falls within 1 standard deviation of the mean, 95% data falls within 2 standard deviation of the mean, and 99% data falls within 3 standard deviation of the mean

    Since 36.6 is 37 - 2 (0.2), which is 2 st. dev of the mean, and

    since 37.4 is 37 + 2 (0.2), which is 2 st. dev of the mean,

    We can say that 95% of humans have a temperature between 36.6°C and 37.4°C
