In: Statistics and Probability
The mean of a normal probability distribution is 380; the standard deviation is 10.
About 68% of the observations lie between what two values?
About 95% of the observations lie between what two values?
Practically all of the observations lie between what two values?
According to Empirical rule (68 - 95 - 99.7)
Approximately, 68% data falls in 1 standard deviation of the mean.
Approximately, 95% data falls in 2 standard deviation of the mean.
Approximately, 99.7% data falls in 3 standard deviation of the mean.
a)
68% data falls between
= 380 10
Between 380 - 10 and 380 + 10
Between 370 and 390
b)
95% data falls between 2
= 380 2 * 10
Between 380 - 2 * 10 and 380 + 2 * 10
Between 360 and 400
c)
About all data falls between 3 standard deviation of the mean.
That is between 3
= 380 3 * 10
Between 380 - 3 * 10 and 380 + 3 * 10
Between 350 and 410
