Question
Random samples of a Gaussian distribution will fall within two standard deviations of the mean with a probability which is approximately 68%.
True or False
Expert Solution
arrow_forward
Step 1
Concept:
68% of the data is within 1 standard deviation (σ) of the mean (μ), 95% of the data is within 2 standard deviations (σ) of the mean (μ), and 99.7% of the data is within 3 standard deviations (σ) of the mean (μ).
