    1 SD away from mean is 68% of data.

    2 SD away from mean is 95% of data.

    3 SD away from mean is 99.7% of data.

    1 SD away:

    190+30=220

    2 SD away:

    220+30=250

    This shows we are on the outer 5 percent of the normal distribution.

    Since you said "more", that means we only look at the right side of your 5%, which is only 2.5%

    answer is D, 2.5%
