What else can I help you with?
What is the measures that fall beyond three standard deviations of the mean called?
You may be referring to the statistical term 'outlier(s)'. Also, there is a rule in statistics called the '68-95-99 Rule'. It states that in a normally distributed dataset approximately 68% of the observations will be within plus/minus one standard deviation of the mean, 95% within plus/minus two standard deviations, and 99% within plus/minus three standard deviations. So if your data follow the classic bell-shaped curve, roughly 1% of the measures should fall beyond three standard deviations of the mean.
Describe the properties of a normal distribution?
A normal distribution is symmetric and when looked at on a graph, the graph looks like a bell shaped curve. Approximately 95 percent of its values should lie within two standard deviations of the mean. Frequency of the data lies mostly in the middle of the curve.
What makes the range less desirable than the standard deviation as a measure of dispersion?
Range can include outliers that are not normal values and can skew overall data. Most relevant values can be found within one or two standard deviations on a normal curve.
What is the proportion of the total area under the normal curve within plus or minus 2 statndard deviations?
It is 0.9955 of the total area.
Does the curve in a normal distribution stop at plus or minus 3 standard deviations?
No. The curve in a normal distribution goes on out to plus and minus infinity. You might never see any observations out there, but if you were to make an infinite number of observations, you theoretically would.
What are three characteristics of a normal curve?
A normal curve, or Gaussian distribution, is symmetric and bell-shaped, indicating that the data is evenly distributed around the mean. It has a mean, median, and mode that are all equal and located at the center of the curve. Additionally, approximately 68% of the data falls within one standard deviation of the mean, about 95% within two standard deviations, and around 99.7% within three standard deviations, known as the empirical rule.
What is the proportion of the total area under the normal curve within plus or minus 2 standard deviations?
95%

What does normality mean in health and social care?
All minor deviations occurring with two standard deviations under the Gaussian curve are considered normal. Deviations occurring outside of two standard deviations are considered abnormal.
How does the bell curve relates to the empirical rule?
The bell curve, also known as the normal distribution, is a symmetrical probability distribution that follows the empirical rule. The empirical rule states that for approximately 68% of the data, it lies within one standard deviation of the mean, 95% within two standard deviations, and 99.7% within three standard deviations when data follows a normal distribution. This relationship allows us to make predictions about data distribution based on these rules.
How do you draw a bell curve?
A bell curve reaches its highest point in the middle and is lower on the sides. It can represent standard deviations from the mean.
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.
If a data point has a corresponding score of -1.5 then it is one and a half standard deviations above the mean value.?
If you are talking about the z-value of a point on the normal curve, then no, it is 1.5 standard deviations BELOW the mean.
Is nearly all the area under the normal curve between z-3.00 and z3.00?
yes, since according to the 68-95-99.7 rule, the area within 3 standard deviations is 99.7%
What makes the range less desirable than the standard deviation as a measure of dispersion?
Range can include outliers that are not normal values and can skew overall data. Most relevant values can be found within one or two standard deviations on a normal curve.
