Approximately 2 standard deviations (1.96, actually) from the mean. That is important to know that if one has a sample of 1000 values, if one selects a threshold at +/- 2 standard deviations from the mean, then one expects to see about 25 values exceeding those thresholds (on each side of the mean)

Why is population distribution not uniform all over Nepal?

In probability theory and statistics, the continuous uniform distribution or rectangular distribution is a family of symmetric probability distributions such that for each member of the family, all intervals of the same length on the distribution's support are equally probable. The support is defined by the two parameters, a and b, which are its minimum and maximum values. The distribution is often abbreviated U(a,b). It is the maximum entropy probability distribution for a random variate X under no constraint other than that it is contained in the distribution's support

What is the probability that the vowel is before j?

The answer depends on what language you refer to. It also depends on which particular vowel is being referred to as "the vowel".Then you would need to know the number of words in that language that contained a j as well as those that contained a j after the vowel. The second number divided by the fist would give the required probability.

Assume that life expectancy in the us is normally distributed with a mean of 73 years and a standard deviation of 9 years what is the probability that you will live to be over 100 years old?

You would have about 1/2 of 1 % chance of living to 100 since age 100 is three standard deviations (SD) from the mean. If you are with in three SD of the mean you have 99% of the data set or probablity contained. Hence, you would be missing 1% of which half would be above age 100 and half would be below (73-27) age 46.


HOW Many side does a oxygen have?
