Properties of standard deviation | -measures the variation among data values, -valuses close together have a small standard deviation, but values with much mroe variation have a larger standard deviation, -has same units of measurement as original data |
Properties of standard deviation cont. | a vaule is unusual if it differs from the mean by more than 2 standard deciations |
Empirical Rule | 68-95-99.7 rule, for data sets haveing a sistribution that is approxiimately bell shaped |
