The Empirical Rule says that for a normal curve, approximately 68 of the values fall within 1 standard deviation of the mean in either direction, while 95 of the values fall within 2 standard deviations of the mean in either direction. Explain why you don't have twice as many values within 2 standard deviations as you do within 1 standard deviation.

Question 2

A(n) __________ represents the number of standard deviations the observed value or score falls above or below the mean.
 Fill in the blank(s) with correct word

Answer to Question 2

Every flu season is different, and even healthy people can get extremely sick from the flu, as well as spread it to others. The flu season can begin as early as October and last as late as May. Every person over six months of age should get an annual flu vaccine. The vaccine cannot cause you to get influenza, but in some seasons, may not be completely able to prevent you from acquiring influenza due to changes in causative viruses. The viruses in the flu shot are killed—there is no way they can give you the flu. Minor side effects include soreness, redness, or swelling where the shot was given. It is possible to develop a slight fever, and body aches, but these are simply signs that the body is responding to the vaccine and making itself ready to fight off the influenza virus should you come in contact with it.
