What is the Empirical Rule?

Back

The Empirical Rule states that for a normal distribution, approximately 68% of the data falls within one standard deviation of the mean, 95% within two standard deviations, and 99.7% within three standard deviations.

What does it mean for data to be normally distributed?

Back

Data is normally distributed when it follows a bell-shaped curve, where most of the observations cluster around the central peak and probabilities for values further away from the mean taper off equally in both directions.
