The answer depends on the underlying distribution. For example, if you have a random variable X, with a symmetric distribution with mean = 20 and sd = 1, then

prob(X > 1) = 1, to at least 10 decimal places.

Why is the standard normal probability distribution unique?

a mean of 1 and any standard deviation


What does is mean when the standard deviation is 0?

Intuitively, a standard deviation is a change from the expected value.For the question you asked, this means that the change in the "results" doesn't exist, which doesn't really happen. If the standard deviation is 0, then it's impossible to perform the test! This shows that it's impossible to compute the probability with the "null" standard deviation from this form:z = (x - µ)/σIf σ = 0, then the probability doesn't exist.


Suppose z has a standard normal distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1. the probability that z is less than 1.15 is?

probability is 43.3%

What is the relationship between standard deviation and accuracy?

It depends what you're asking. The question is extremely unclear. Accuracy of what exactly? Even in the realm of statistics an entire book could be written to address such an ambiguous question (to answer a myriad of possible questions). If you simply are asking what the relationship between the probability that something will occur given the know distribution of outcomes (such as a normal distribution), the mean of that that distribution, and the the standard deviation, then the standard deviation as a represents the spread of the curve of probability. This means that if you had a cure where 0 was the mean, and 3 was the standard deviation, the likelihood of observing a value of 12 (or -12) would be likely inaccurate if that was your prediction. However, if you had a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 100, the likelihood of observing of a 12 (or -12) would be quite likely. This is simply because the standard deviation provides a simple representation of the horizontal spread of probability on the x-axis.

How do you calculate probability given mean and standard deviation?

The mean and standard deviation do not, by themselves, provide enough information to calculate probability. You also need to know the distribution of the variable in question.

What is the probability of an event occurring within 5 standard deviations from the mean?

The probability of an event occurring within 5 standard deviations from the mean is extremely rare, as it falls outside the normal range of outcomes.


Difference between standard deviation and mean devition?

The mean deviation (also called the mean absolute deviation) is the mean of the absolute deviations of a set of data about the data's mean. The standard deviation sigma of a probability distribution is defined as the square root of the variance sigma^2,
