The video tutorial explains the empirical rule, which describes how data in a normal distribution is spread around the mean. It uses the example of women's heights to illustrate how the rule can be applied to real-world data. The tutorial covers calculating the percentage of women within certain height ranges and discusses the rarity of extreme heights. The empirical rule is shown to be a useful tool for understanding data distribution in various contexts.

What is the Empirical Rule primarily used to describe?

• The distribution of data in a skewed distribution

• The distribution of data in a bimodal distribution

• The distribution of data in a uniform distribution

• The distribution of data in a normal distribution
