Given that the normal distribution is symmetrical about the mean, it is easy to see that only 16% of the population retires over the age of 70. Accordingly, 32% of the population retires before the age of 60 or after the age of 70. This means that 68% of the population retires between the ages of 60 and 70. We see that age 70 differs from the mean by one standard deviation. Let’s plug into the calculator the values of mean (65) and standard deviation (5). To solve the problem we can use our Empirical Rule Calculator. What is the probability that a person will retire after age 70? The distribution of retirement age is normal with a standard deviation of 5 years. Use the empirical rule to choose the best value for the percentage of the. The average age of retirement for the entire population in a country is 65 years. And, U and W are numbers along the axis that are each the same distance away from V. For example, in finance, this rule applies to stock prices, price indices, etc. This applies to cases of large data sets. The empirical rule is beneficial because it serves as a means of predicting data. For example, if too many data points fall outside of the three standard deviation limits, it indicates that the distribution is not normal and may correspond to some other function. The empirical rule is also used as a rough but simple way to check if a distribution is normal. Knowing the value of the standard deviation, this rule can be used as a rough estimate of the results of accurate data collection. The empirical rule is often used in statistics to predict final outcomes. Standard deviation is a measure of the scatter of the data, it determines how much the data values can differ from the mean. ![]() The percentage of the data spanning the 2nd and 3rd SDs is 13.5 + 2.35 15.85 The probability that a randomly chosen basketball will have a diameter between 9.5 and 10.5 inches is 15.85. Recall that the mean is the sum of the values in the data set divided by the total number of values. This reading on the Empirical Rule is an extension of the previous reading Understanding the Normal Distribution. ![]()
