What is the rule of 2 standard deviations?
The empirical rule, or the 68-95-99.7 rule, tells you where most of the values lie in a normal distribution: Around 68% of values are within 1 standard deviation of the mean. Around 95% of values are within 2 standard deviations of the mean. Around 99.7% of values are within 3 standard deviations of the mean.
How much is within 2 standard deviations?
Approximately 95% of the data fall within two standard deviations of the mean. Approximately 99.7% of the data fall within three standard deviations of the mean.
Is 95 2 standard deviations?
Since 95% of values fall within two standard deviations of the mean according to the 68-95-99.7 Rule, simply add and subtract two standard deviations from the mean in order to obtain the 95% confidence interval. Notice that with higher confidence levels the confidence interval gets large so there is less precision.
What score is 2 standard deviations below the mean?
Data that is two standard deviations below the mean will have a z-score of -2, data that is two standard deviations above the mean will have a z-score of +2.
