1.With any set of scores that is normally distributed, what percentage of the total area falls
a.between the mean and a score that lies one standard deviation below the mean?
b. between the mean and a score that lies one standard deviation below the mean?
c. between the mean and a score that lies two standard deviations below the mean?
d. between a score that lies three standard deviations below the mean and three standard deviations above the mean?
According to empirical rule, 68%, 95% and 99.7% of data values lie within 1, 2 and 3 standard deviations of mean.
a. 68% is within 1 standard deviation of mean.
Percentage of area between mean and one standard deviation of mean = 68/2 = 34%
b. Percentage of area between mean and one standard deviation below mean = 68/2 = 34%
c. 95% values are within 2 standard deviations of mean.
Percentage of area between mean and 2 standard deviations below mean = 95/2 = 47.5%
d. Percentage of area between 3 standard deviations below mean and 3 standard deviations above mean = 99.7%
