What is the proportion of the total area under the normal curve within plus and minus two standard deviations of the mean?
95
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.
What determines the standard deviation to be high?
Standard deviation is a measure of the scatter or dispersion of the data. Two sets of data can have the same mean, but different standard deviations. The dataset with the higher standard deviation will generally have values that are more scattered. We generally look at the standard deviation in relation to the mean. If the standard deviation is much smaller than the mean, we may consider that the data has low dipersion. If the standard deviation is much higher than the mean, it may indicate the dataset has high dispersion A second cause is an outlier, a value that is very different from the data. Sometimes it is a mistake. I will give you an example. Suppose I am measuring people's height, and I record all data in meters, except on height which I record in millimeters- 1000 times higher. This may cause an erroneous mean and standard deviation to be calculated.
What is the formula to determine the standard deviation of the resulting normal distribution when adding two normal distributions with different means and standard deviations?
s= bracket n over sigma i (xi-x-)^2 all over n-1 closed bracket ^ 1/2
