Answer:

  68%

Step-by-step explanation:

According to the empirical rule, 68% of the distribution lies within 1 standard deviation of the mean.

Here, the mean is 20 and the standard deviation is 5. The bounds on 1 standard deviation from the mean are 20±5 = [15, 25]. This is precisely the interval of interest.
