Question [CLICK ON ANY CHOICE TO KNOW THE RIGHT ANSWER]
In a normal curve, about ____ % of scores fall within one standard deviation of the mean.
A
50%
B
68%
C
95%
D
99%
Explanation: 

Detailed explanation-1: -For the standard normal distribution, 68% of the observations lie within 1 standard deviation of the mean; 95% lie within two standard deviation of the mean; and 99.9% lie within 3 standard deviations of the mean.

Detailed explanation-2: -Under this rule, 68% of the data falls within one standard deviation, 95% percent within two standard deviations, and 99.7% within three standard deviations from the mean.

Detailed explanation-3: -Regardless of what a normal distribution looks like or how big or small the standard deviation is, approximately 68 percent of the observations (or 68 percent of the area under the curve) will always fall within two standard deviations (one above and one below) of the mean.

Detailed explanation-4: -The empirical rule in statistics, also known as the 68 95 99 rule, states that for normal distributions, 68% of observed data points will lie inside one standard deviation of the mean, 95% will fall within two standard deviations, and 99.7% will occur within three standard deviations.

Detailed explanation-5: -In any normal distribution with mean and standard deviation : Approximately 68% of the data fall within one standard deviation of the mean. 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.
