What else can I help you with?
Can The standard deviation of a distribution be a negative value?
No. The standard deviation is not exactly a value but rather how far a score deviates from the mean.
What is the z value for a normal distribution?
If a random variable X has a Normal distribution with mean m and standard deviation s, then z = (X - m)/s has a Standard Normal distribution. That is, Z has a Normal distribution with mean 0 and standard deviation 1. Probabilities for a general Normal distribution are extremely difficult to obtain but values for the Standard Normal have been calculated numerically and are widely tabulated. The z-transformation is, therefore, used to evaluate probabilities for Normally distributed random variables.
Can standard deviation value be bigger than maximum and minimum value?
No standard deviation can not be bigger than maximum and minimum values.
What percent of a normal population is within 2 standard deviations of the mean?
In a normal distribution, approximately 95% of the population falls within 2 standard deviations of the mean. This is known as the 95% rule or the empirical rule. The empirical rule states that within one standard deviation of the mean, about 68% of the population falls, and within two standard deviations, about 95% of the population falls.
Is standard deviation an absolute value?
No. Standard deviation is not an absolute value. The standard deviation is often written as a single positive value (magnitude), but it is really a binomial, and it equals both the positive and negative of the given magnitude. For example, if you are told that for a population the SD is 5.0, it really means +5.0 and -5.0 from the population mean. It defines a region within the distribution, starting at the lower magnitude (-5.0) increasing to zero (the mean), and another region starting at zero (the mean) and increasing up to the upper magnitude (+5.0). Both regions together define the (continuous) region of standard deviation from the mean value.
In a standard normal distribution what is the value of the mean and standard deviation?
idk about normal distribution but for Mean "M" = (overall sum of "x") / "n" frequency distribution: 'M' = Overall sum of (' x ' * ' f ') / overall sum of ( ' f ' ) M = Mean x = Mid Point f = frequiency n = number of variables ALL FOR STANDARD DEVIATION * * * * * A general Normal distribution is usually described in terms of its parameters, and given as N(mu, sigma2) where mu is the mean and sigma is the standard deviation. The STANDARD Normal distribution is the N(0, 1) distribution, that is, it has mean = 0 and variance (or standard deviation) = 1.
Can The standard deviation of a distribution be a negative value?
No. The standard deviation is not exactly a value but rather how far a score deviates from the mean.
What is the z score of 1.0?
It is the value that is one standard deviation greater than the mean of a Normal (Gaussian) distribution.
What are importance of mean and standard deviation in the use of normal distribution?
For data sets having a normal distribution, the following properties depend on the mean and the standard deviation. This is known as the Empirical rule. About 68% of all values fall within 1 standard deviation of the mean About 95% of all values fall within 2 standard deviation of the mean About 99.7% of all values fall within 3 standard deviation of the mean. So given any value and given the mean and standard deviation, one can say right away where that value is compared to 60, 95 and 99 percent of the other values. The mean of the any distribution is a measure of centrality, but in case of the normal distribution, it is equal to the mode and median of the distribtion. The standard deviation is a measure of data dispersion or variability. In the case of the normal distribution, the mean and the standard deviation are the two parameters of the distribution, therefore they completely define the distribution.

What is the z value for a normal distribution?
If a random variable X has a Normal distribution with mean m and standard deviation s, then z = (X - m)/s has a Standard Normal distribution. That is, Z has a Normal distribution with mean 0 and standard deviation 1. Probabilities for a general Normal distribution are extremely difficult to obtain but values for the Standard Normal have been calculated numerically and are widely tabulated. The z-transformation is, therefore, used to evaluate probabilities for Normally distributed random variables.
What is the probability that the value of a randomly selected variable from a normal distribution will be more than 3 standard deviation from its mean value?
Approx 0.0027
What is the different between standard normal distribution and normal distribution?
A normal distribution can have any value for its mean and any positive value for its variance. A standard normal distribution has mean 0 and variance 1.
What is the expected value of the standard normal distribution equal to?
The expected value of the standard normal distribution is equal to the total amount of the value. It is usually equal to it when the value works out to be the same.
Why is it a useful value to report standard deviation?
The standard deviation of a distribution is the average spread from the mean (average). If I told you I had a distribution of data with average 10000 and standard deviation 10, you'd know that most of the data is close to the middle. If I told you I had a distrubtion of data with average 10000 and standard deviation 3000, you'd know that the data in this distribution is much more spread out. dhaussling@gmail.com
What is the standard deviation of a normal distribution whose mean is 35 in which an x value of 23 has a z score of 1.63?
An x value that is smaller than the mean cannot have a positive z score.
How do you standardise a value?
There are many different bases for standardisation - even if you only consider the Gaussian (Normal) distribution. If a variable X has a Gaussian distribution, then the corresponding Standard Normal deviate, Z, is obtained from X by subtracting the mean of X and then dividing the result by the standard deviation of X. The variable, Z, more commonly known as the Z-score, has a Gaussian distribution with mean 0 and standard deviation 1. But, if X is an IQ score, for example, different measures of the X variable are used so that the resulting variable has mean 100 and standard deviation 15.
What do standard deviation error bars indicate when they go past your minimum value?
If the minimum value is the minimum observed value then it indicates that the distribution goes below the minimum observed value.If the minimum value is the minimum defined for the distribution then it indicates thatthe data do not come from the proposed distribution,estimates for the mean or standard deviation are incorrect, oryou have got a sample which is atypical.
