1. According to the theory of Gaussian distributions, what percentage of your measurements should be within 1 of the mean (see Figure 1)? ("Within 1 o" means the fraction of points within plus or minus one standard deviation from the average.) Record your answer below. 2. What percentage should be within 2 ? Record your answer below. 3. Within 3 ? Record your answer below. -30 -20 99.7% of the data are within 3 standard deviations 95% within 2 standard deviations 68% within 1 standard deviation + +20 +30 Figure 1: The Gaussian distribution and the fractions within 1, 2, and 30. Taken from the Wikipedia article on the "Normal Distribution." Note that the article uses , instead of x, to represent the mean. 1.
