How many standard deviations are 95 percent of measurements away from the mean?

95 percent of measurements are less than 2 standard deviations away from the mean, assuming a normal distribution.


What percent of the data in a normal distribution lies more than 2 standard deviations above the mean?

2.275 %


How many standard deviations is needed to capture 75 percent of data?

It depends on the shape of the distribution. For standard normal distribution, a two tailed range would be from -1.15 sd to + 1.15 sd.


What percentage of scores fall within -3 and plus 3 standard deviations around the mean in a normal distribution?

99.7% of scores fall within -3 and plus 3 standard deviations around the mean in a normal distribution.


The mean plus or minus the standard deviation for a normal distribution provides a probability range of what percent?

in a normal distribution, the mean plus or minus one standard deviation covers 68.2% of the data. If you use two standard deviations, then you will cover approx. 95.5%, and three will earn you 99.7% coverage


How many standard deviations is the first quartile away from the mean on a Normal distribution?

0.674 sd.

What is -1.33 standard deviations in percentage?

Assuming a normal distribution, Pr { X < -1.33 } ~= 0.091759135650280765 or about 9.18 %


What percentage of observations of a normal distribution is represented by the mean plus or minus 2 standard deviations?

about 68%


What percentage of observations of a normal distribution is reprented by the mean plus or minus 1.96 standard deviations?

The probability of the mean plus or minus 1.96 standard deviations is 0. The probability that a continuous distribution takes any particular value is always zero. The probability between the mean plus or minus 1.96 standard deviations is 0.95


What percent of data falls between 1 Standard deviation below and 2 stand deviations above the mean?

The answer will depend on what the distribution is. Non-statisticians often assum that the variable that they are interested in follows the Standard Normal distribution. This assumption must be justified. If that is the case then the answer is 81.9%


What percentage of a normal distribution is within 2 standard deviations of the mean?

I believe the standard deviations are measured from the median, not the mean.1 Standard Deviation is 34% each side of median, so that is 68% total.2 Standard Deviations is 48% each side of median, so that is 96% total.
