Standard deviation is a measure of how spread out values are. In general, 68% of values are within one standard deviation of the mear
95% of values are within two standard deviations of the mean, and 99.7% of values are within three standard deviations of the mean.
This is known as the 68-95-99.7 rule, and can be used to solve problems involving normally distributed data.
95% of players at a video game convention are between 55 inches and 82 inches tall. Assume the data is normally distributed.
