% within x SDs of mean question
I'm curious... how much % of the curve on a standard distro is within 1 SD of the mean?
2 SD? 3 SD? (My guess: 67/90/95, or 67/99/99.5) |

Re: % within x SDs of mean question
in a standard normal distribution with a mean of zero,
1 SD: .3413 or +/- 1 SD: .6426 2 SD: .4772 or +/- 2 SD: .9544 3 SD: .4987 or +/- 3 SD: .9974 As an additional note, that's why Six Sigma is so common in business applications, because it represents 99.74% of the distribution... |
