No. It cannot be. Remember that when you square a negative number it becomes a positive number. Thus all squared deviations are positive and their sum must be positive.

Given an unknown What percentage of data falls within 0.75 standard deviation of the mean?

In a normal distribution, approximately 57.5% of the data falls within 0.75 standard deviations of the mean. This is derived from the cumulative distribution function (CDF) of the normal distribution, which indicates that about 27.5% of the data lies between the mean and 0.75 standard deviations above it, and an equal amount lies between the mean and 0.75 standard deviations below it. Therefore, when combined, it results in around 57.5% of data being within that range.

Is mean deviation less than standard deviation?

Yes, the mean deviation is typically less than or equal to the standard deviation for a given dataset. The mean deviation measures the average absolute deviations from the mean, while the standard deviation takes into account the squared deviations, which can amplify the effect of outliers. Consequently, the standard deviation is usually greater than or equal to the mean deviation, but they can be equal in certain cases, such as when all data points are identical.
