approximately 32nd percentile
A standard deviation in statistics is the amount at which a large number of given values in a set might deviate from the average. A percentile deviation represents this deviation as a percentage of the range.
It depends on the underlying distribution. If Gaussian (standrad normal) then the percentile is 77.
The Miller Analogies Test scores have a mean of 400 and a standard deviation of 25, and are approximately normally distributed.z = ( 351.5 - 400 ) / 25 = -1.94That's about the 2.6 percentile.(Used wolframalpha.com with input Pr [x < -1.94] with x normally distributed with mean 0 and standard deviation 1.)
The lower case sigma character (σ) represents standard deviation.
You would be in the 99th percentile (98.61, to be more precise).

The standard deviation of height in the US population is approximately 3 inches.
You would be in the 99th percentile (98.61, to be more precise).
The cumulative probability up to the mean plus 1 standard deviation for a Normal distribution - not any distribution - is 84%. The reference is any table (or on-line version) of z-scores for the standard normal distribution.
When you subtract the standard deviation from the mean, you get a value that represents one standard deviation below the average of a dataset. This can be useful for identifying lower thresholds in data analysis, such as determining the cutoff point for values that are considered below average. In a normal distribution, approximately 68% of the data falls within one standard deviation of the mean, so this value can help in understanding the spread of the data.
Assuming a normal distribution of incomes: 2672z = ( 2672 - 3036 ) / 950 = -0.383157895Pr{z
The standard deviation is the standard deviation! Its calculation requires no assumption.
The standard deviation of the population. the standard deviation of the population.
To calculate plus or minus one standard deviation from a mean, first determine the mean (average) of your data set. Then calculate the standard deviation, which measures the dispersion of the data points around the mean. Once you have both values, you can find the range by adding and subtracting the standard deviation from the mean: the lower limit is the mean minus one standard deviation, and the upper limit is the mean plus one standard deviation. This range contains approximately 68% of the data in a normal distribution.
