The Empirical Rule states that the approximate percentage of measurements in a data set (providing that the data set has a bell shaped distribution) that fall within two standard deviations of their mean is approximately:

A) 68%.
B) 75%.
C) 95%.
D) 99%.

Standard Deviations

A metric that calculates the extent of spread or variability of data points from the average value.

Bell Shaped Distribution

A probability distribution that is symmetric and unimodal, with the shape of a bell, often associated with the normal distribution.

  • Comprehend the Empirical Rule and its implications for data within one, two, and three standard deviations from the mean in a normal distribution.
