The Empirical Rule applies to distributions that are
According to the Empirical Rule, if a distribution is unimodal and symmetric, approximately 68% of the observations will be within one standard deviation of the mean, approximately 95% of the observations will be within two standard deviations of the mean, and nearly all the observations will be within three standard deviations of the mean.
According to the Empirical Rule, ________ will be within two standard deviations of the mean.
According to the Empirical Rule, if a distribution is unimodal and symmetric, approximately 95% of the observations will be within two standards deviation of the mean.
If an observation has a z-score of 0, this means which of the following?
If an observation has a z-score of 0, then it is equal to the mean. The mean is 0 standard deviations away from itself, so it has a z-score of 0.
Which of the following can be used to compare values measured in different units, such as inches and pounds?
The z-score measures distance from a mean in terms of standard deviations, so it can be used to compare values measured in different units, such as inches and pounds.
