A normal distribution has a mean of 8 and a standard deviation of 2. The value that is 2 positive standard deviations away from the mean is this
12
What is standard deviation?
The distance of a set of data points from the mean
This measure of central tendency of a normal distribution represents the highest point on the curve
The Mean
A normal distribution has a mean of 15 and a standard deviation of 3. The value that is 3 negative standard deviations away from the mean is this
6
What is the mean and standard deviation of the following set of scores: 8, 8, 8, 8, 8, 8
mean = 8 s = 0
The heights (in cm) of students of a class is given to be 163, 158, 167, 174, 148. Find the variance.
the variance is found to be 77.6
The curve is this with respect to its mean
Symmetric
A normal distribution has a mean of 10 and a standard deviation of 1. The percentage of data values that fall between the values of 8 and 12 is this
95%
Set A: 3, 4, 5, 6, 2, 3, 4 Set B: 3, 6, 8, 9, 1, 9, 1 Which data set would have the smaller standard deviation? How can you tell? (no calculations needed)
Set A because the numbers are closer together
Find the variance of the given data set: 4, 3, 2, 7, 8
s = 3 v = 9
The total area under the curve of a normal distribution is this.
One or 100%
A normal distribution has a mean of 24 and a standard deviation of 6. 68% of the values of this distribution fall between what two data values?
18 and 30
What is the mean and standard deviation for the following set of numbers? 4, 8, 6, 10, 16, 14, 12, 18
Mean = 11 Standard Deviation = 4.58
What is the variance for the following set of numbers? 23, 10, 11, 24, 32, 15, 13, 16
V = 50.98
These percentages roughly represent the percent of the data values that fall within one, two, and three standard deviations from the mean of a normal distribution.
68% 95% 99.7%
A normal distribution has a mean of 100 and a standard deviation of 10. The percentage of data values that fall between the values of 70 and 90 is this
15.85
What is the mean and standard deviation for the following set of numbers? 23, 10, 11, 24, 32, 15, 13, 16
mean =18 s = 7.14
Explain the difference between standard deviation and variance
Standard Deviation is how far data is from the mean, while variance is the overall spread of the data set
