The 68-95-99.7 Rule describes how data is distributed in a normal distribution. It states that approximately 68% of the data falls within one standard deviation, 95% within two standard deviations, and 99.7% within three standard deviations from the mean.
Standard Deviation: A measure of how spread out numbers are around the mean of a dataset.
Normal Distribution: A probability distribution that is symmetric about its mean, showing that data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from it.
Mean: The average value of a set of numbers, calculated by dividing their sum by their quantity.
