 6.2 Standard Deviation
 The mean is only ONE statistic you can
use to describe a data set, but it only
describes the center.
 The range is a measure of variability,
because it measures how spread out the
data is.
 The standard deviation is another
measure of the variability of a data set.

Normal Distributions
In a normal distribution
The mean and median are equal
AND fall on line of symmetry of
curve
Example 1
At TASIS the heights of female students are
approximately normally distributed with a mean of
64.5 inches and a standard deviation of 2.5 inches
Within what range do about 95% of the female students’
heights fall?
About what percent of the female students have heights
between 62 and 67 inches?
 Warmup - measurement
 Using the cm side of the tape measure,
measure the distance from your elbow eye
to the tip of your middle finger.
 Record this number on the front board
 Enter all the data values into your
calculator
 Make a histogram (by hand) for the data
 What type of distribution is it?
 Find the following:
– Mean
– Median
– Range
– Standard Deviation
 What percent of students have lengths…
 Create a histogram on the calculator
