A standard deviation is a statistical measure of the variation there in a population or group. A standard deviation of 1 means that 68% of the members of the population are withing plus or minus the value of the standard deviation from the average. For example: assume the average height of men is 5 feet 9 inches, and the standard deviation is three inches. Then 68% of all men are between 5' 6" and 6' which is 5'9" plus or minus 3 inches. [Note: this is only to illustrate and is not intended to be a real/correct statistic of men's heights.]

What is the mean and standard deviation for the standard normal curve?
Mean = 0 Standard Deviation = 1
A standard normal distribution has a mean of and standard deviation of?
Mean 0, standard deviation 1.
What does one standard deviation mean?
Standard deviation is a measure of variation from the mean of a data set. 1 standard deviation from the mean (which is usually + and - from mean) contains 68% of the data.
What is true of a standard normal probability distribution aA mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1 b A mean of 1 and any standard deviation of 1 c Any mean and a standard deviatio?
a is true.
How many of scores will be within 1 standard deviation of the population mean?
Assuming a normal distribution 68 % of the data samples will be with 1 standard deviation of the mean.
