Do you know what percentage of items will fall within 1 standard deviation? (that is by the empirical rule, or looking it up in a normal table ) ?

OpenStudy (kirbykirby):

If this looks anything familiar: \(P(-1< Z < 1)=? \)

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

it doesnt loli just started this lesson today lol hold on

OpenStudy (jessicawade):

no i dont

OpenStudy (kirbykirby):

ok well.. did you see anything about the empirical rule? It states that __% of your data will be within 1 standard deviation of the mean, __% of your data will be within 2 standard deviations of the mean ... ? Otherwise you will need to look up those values yourself in a normal table..

OpenStudy (jessicawade):
