How would you interpret these values? (Round your standard deviation to four decimal places.)
The mean squared deviation from the mean number of systems sold in one week is
A typical deviation from the mean number of systems sold in one week is
(c) What is the probability that the number of systems sold is within 1 standard deviation of its mean value?
(d) What is the probability that the number of systems sold is more than 2 standard deviations from the mean?
