Use empirical rules such as the 68-95-99.7 rule to estimate spread of distributions and to make comparisons among sets of data.

Remarks

Example: The weights, in grams, of 16 randomly selected mice are: 15.7, 13.1, 13.9, 13.4, 14.8, 16.9, 14.2, 14.7, 13.7, 15.8, 16.7, 15.6, 16.1, 16.3, 14.1, 17.0. Find the variance of this set of data, and use the empirical rule to estimate the range of weights of the entire population of mice.
