How far from the mean does a value in a normal distribution fall

Step-by-step explanation:

The Standard Normal curve, shown here, has mean 0 and standard deviation 1. If a dataset follows a normal distribution, then about 68% of the observations will fall within of the mean , which in this case is with the interval (-1,1). About 95% of the observations will fall within 2 standard deviations of the mean, which is the interval (-2,2) for the standard normal, and about 99.7% of the observations will fall within 3 standard deviations of the mean, which corresponds to the interval (-3,3) in this case. Although it may appear as if a normal distribution does not include any values beyond a certain interval, the density is actually positive for all values, . Data from any normal distribution may be transformed into data following the standard normal distribution by subtracting the mean and dividing by the standard deviation .

Example:

The dataset used in this example includes 130 observations of body temperature. The MINITAB "DESCRIBE" command produced the following numerical summary of the data:

Variable N Mean Median Tr Mean StDev SE Mean

BODY TEMP 130 98.249 98.300 98.253 0.733 0.064

Variable Min Max Q1 Q3

BODY TEMP 96.300 100.800 97.800 98.700

the transverse axis of a hyperbola is the line that contains the two vertices and the two focuses.

in this example (hyperbola of equation x^2/2 - y^2/4 = 1), the transverse axis is the  x-axis  .
