What are the names of the measurements that fall beyond three standard deviations from the mean?
Outliers.
In statistics what does the empirical rule states?
Nearly all the values in a sample from a normal population will lie within three standard deviations of the mean. Please see the link.
Importance of measures of central tendency?
Measures of the general value are a common need. Average, Median, and Mode are the three commonest.Average is the arithmetic average of all the values.Median is the actual measurement which is midwaybetween the extreme values, and is often closest to the average.Mode is the commonest value.Other indicators of central tendency, may ignore all value beyond say, three standard deviations, and thus ignore the contribution by the extreme, and uncommon, values.
What are the differences between the Emperical Rule and Chebyshev's Theorem?
The Empirical Rule applies solely to the NORMAL distribution, while Chebyshev's Theorem (Chebyshev's Inequality, Tchebysheff's Inequality, Bienaymé-Chebyshev Inequality) deals with ALL (well, rather, REAL-WORLD) distributions. The Empirical Rule is stronger than Chebyshev's Inequality, but applies to fewer cases. The Empirical Rule: - Applies to normal distributions. - About 68% of the values lie within one standard deviation of the mean. - About 95% of the values lie within two standard deviations of the mean. - About 99.7% of the values lie within three standard deviations of the mean. - For more precise values or values for another interval, use a normalcdf function on a calculator or integrate e^(-(x - mu)^2/(2*(sigma^2))) / (sigma*sqrt(2*pi)) along the desired interval (where mu is the population mean and sigma is the population standard deviation). Chebyshev's Theorem/Inequality: - Applies to all (real-world) distributions. - No more than 1/(k^2) of the values are more than k standard deviations away from the mean. This yields the following in comparison to the Empirical Rule: - No more than [all] of the values are more than 1 standard deviation away from the mean. - No more than 1/4 of the values are more than 2 standard deviations away from the mean. - No more than 1/9 of the values are more than 3 standard deviations away from the mean. - This is weaker than the Empirical Rule for the case of the normal distribution, but can be applied to all (real-world) distributions. For example, for a normal distribution, Chebyshev's Inequality states that at most 1/4 of the values are beyond 2 standard deviations from the mean, which means that at least 75% are within 2 standard deviations of the mean. The Empirical Rule makes the much stronger statement that about 95% of the values are within 2 standard deviations of the mean. However, for a distribution that has significant skew or other attributes that do not match the normal distribution, one can use Chebyshev's Inequality, but not the Empirical Rule. - Chebyshev's Inequality is a "fall-back" for distributions that cannot be modeled by approximations with more specific rules and provisions, such as the Empirical Rule.
