  • The Empirical Rule helps us to develop an intuition about the bell curve. In this video, we will find an area that is not between the typical plus and minus 1, 2, or 3 standard deviations from the mean. Many students find this type of problem a challenge. This video was taken from my website: www.statsprofe...

    Dane thank you so much,I have hit my lowest point and was about to call my mother and tell her im dropping out,but then i looked at this video and it gave me the confidence to do my work thanks for the help and now I will keep going.

    I do have a question regarding this one question that is related on my assignment. The question is:
    The lifespans of mediocre RUclips channels (over 1000 subscribers, less than 50,000) with active creators is 3.1 years with a standard deviation of 0.6 years. Use the empirical rule to estimate the probability of your new mediocre “unboxing” channel lasting between 2.5 and 4.3 years
    How would I go about this question? If you don’t mind me asking

    When you calculated K to be -2.0 why didn't you use chebyshev rule but rather emperical rule because in cherbyshev 2 standard deviation is approximately 75%

    • @dmcguckian
      @dmcguckian  Год назад

      Hi, if the problem says the data follows a bell-shaped distribution you can find a more precise answer using empirical rule. Chebyshev's only gives you a minimum amount inside the given interval (for example, "a minimum of 75% of the measurements are between ..."). This means we can only narrow the true answer down to a range that is fairly wide. It is better to have an answer that has more precision.

    I have a question. What if my standard deviation is 1.2 and at the same time my mean is 6 days with 4 days lesser?

    • @vamp1ng
      @vamp1ng 3 года назад

      my K value is -1.67. When I apply 6-1.67, it gives me 4.8 which means I am still short of another 0.4 value to get 4

      You haven't typed what your question is asking or enough details to help you, but based on what you have provided, it is unlikely to be an empirical rule problem. If the problem says the data is normally distributed, it could be a normal distribution problem that would use a z table to solve.

    Where do u get the %. From

    • @dmcguckian
      @dmcguckian  3 года назад

      At the 4:00 mark, I explain the values given in the empirical rule; however, if you’re asking where the percentages are derived from, they are approximately calculated from the area under the normal distribution using Calculus and integration.

  • @aniyahgrant5080
    @aniyahgrant5080 3 года назад

    Do you have a lesson on percentiles that sort of involves calculus?

    • @dmcguckian
      @dmcguckian  3 года назад

      No, these videos are intended for introductory courses that use tables or software whenever a student would normally need to use Calculus
