  2. 68–95–99.7 rule - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/68–95–99.7_rule

    In statistics, the 68–95–99.7 rule, also known as the empirical rule, and sometimes abbreviated 3sr or 3 σ, is a shorthand used to remember the percentage of values that lie within an interval estimate in a normal distribution: approximately 68%, 95%, and 99.7% of the values lie within one, two, and three standard deviations of the mean ...

  3. Normal distribution - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Normal_distribution

    About 68% of values drawn from a normal distribution are within one standard deviation σ from the mean; about 95% of the values lie within two standard deviations; and about 99.7% are within three standard deviations. [8] This fact is known as the 68–95–99.7 (empirical) rule, or the 3-sigma rule.

  4. Standard deviation - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_deviation

    If a data distribution is approximately normal then about 68 percent of the data values are within one standard deviation of the mean (mathematically, μ ± σ, where μ is the arithmetic mean), about 95 percent are within two standard deviations (μ ± 2σ), and about 99.7 percent lie within three standard deviations (μ ± 3σ).

  5. Propagation of uncertainty - Wikipedia

    Any non-linear differentiable function, (,), of two variables, and , can be expanded as + +. If we take the variance on both sides and use the formula [11] for the variance of a linear combination of variables ⁡ (+) = ⁡ + ⁡ + ⁡ (,), then we obtain | | + | | +, where is the standard deviation of the function , is the standard deviation of , is the standard deviation of and = is the ...

  6. Percentage - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Percentage

    The percent value is computed by multiplying the numeric value of the ratio by 100. For example, to find 50 apples as a percentage of 1,250 apples, one first computes the ratio ⁠ 50 / 1250 ⁠ = 0.04, and then multiplies by 100 to obtain 4%. The percent value can also be found by multiplying first instead of later, so in this example, the 50 ...

    One example of “Looksmaxing” is “Mewing”: teens flatten their tongues to the tops of their mouths, to supposedly eliminate a double chin, a method that American Association of ...

  8. Standard error - Wikipedia

    en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Standard_error

    when the probability distribution of the value is known, it can be used to calculate an exact confidence interval; when the probability distribution is unknown, Chebyshev's or the Vysochanskiï–Petunin inequalities can be used to calculate a conservative confidence interval; and

    Lindsay said “sigma” is from the same culture as mewing and looksmaxing, trends — according to the New York Times — that claim to help teens look better. One example of “Looksmaxing ...
