Normal distribution?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Are these correct

OpenStudy (amistre64):

sounds statish ....

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Statish indeed :(

OpenStudy (amistre64):

define a data value ...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Data value is distance from the mean...raw score is original data value?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

A data value is an element of a value domain. the mean is a data value, and all the data collected from a survey are data value. does a data value have to be between 0 and 1?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No, it can be less than or greater than..

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I know that data values are concentrated around the mean, is that correct?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

it sounds correct to me, but its not a precise definition. good enough tho we can rule out the first one as well, cant we?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yes..first one is incorrect...and last one. Data values concentrated around the mean, and would you think that as much data is on either end?

OpenStudy (amistre64):

on second read, i dont think we can rule it out ... within 1 sd of the mean the empirical rule gives us 64% which is well over 50% of the data

OpenStudy (amistre64):

the mean is a measure of 50% of the data from the left; and from the right. so there is an equal amount of data on both sides of the mean

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Okay, I'm certain of the middle two being correct

OpenStudy (amistre64):

68% of the data is within 1sd of the mean ... had a 34% to the left and 34% to the right competing to get out :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So 50% is within that SD of 68%?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Or 50% is not within one SD being that it's 34%? Sorry just got confused :)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Oh...50% would be within 1 SD of the mean because it being 68% so the first is also correct?
