3. Chebychev’s Theorem Chebychev’s Theorem: for k>1, at least (1- 1/k 2 )*100% of data falls within k stand dev of the mean. – For k=2: at least 1- 1/2 2 = 75% of data falls within 2 standard deviations of the mean (that is, between  -2  and  +2  ) – For k =3: at least 1- 1/3 2 = 89% of data falls within 3 standard deviations of the mean (that is, between  -3  and  +3  )

4. Empirical Rule (discussed fully in later chapters) Empirical Rule: For normally distributed data, – 68% of data falls with 1 standard deviation of the mean (between  -  and  +  ) – 95% of data falls with 2 standard deviation of the mean (between  -2  and  +2  ) – 99.7% of data falls with 3 standard deviation of the mean (between  -3  and  +3  )

Chebychev says: Empirical rule says: 68% in within 1 st dev of mean At least 75% falls within 2 st dev 95% within 2 st dev At least 89% falls within 3 st dev 99.7% within 3 st dev

14. Z scores

15. Calculate z scores A z-score represents the distance from the mean in terms of standard deviation. Z= Ex: On a test with mean=100 and stdev=10, find the z scores for raw scores of: X=110z= X=90z= X=80z= X=105z=

16. Use the Empirical Rule to find percents Same Ex: A test has mean=100 and stdev=10. Using the Empirical Rule, find the percent of students with raw scores (x): Between 90 and 110 Between 80 and 120 Between 100 and 110 Less than 100 Greater than 100

17. Using z scores to compare Example: You got a score of 85 on a math test, where the mean was 80 and the stdev was 10. You got a score of 92 on a physics test, where the mean was 90 and the stdev was 20. Use z scores to see which score was relatively better than the other.
