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.

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 is the difference between t-distribution and standard normal distribution?

the t distributions take into account the variability of the sample standard deviations. I think that it is now common to use the t distribution when the population standard deviation is unknown, regardless of the sample size.
