Hi
between what two values would you classify values to be below average
but not enough to be considered unusual? between 771.5 and 915.3
Between 915.3 -71.8 and 915.3 + 71.8 (843.5 , 987.1) 1 SD
Between 915.3 -143.6 and 915.3 + 143.6 (771.7 , 1058.9) 2 SD
For the normal distribution:
one standard deviation from the mean accounts for about 68% of the set
two standard deviations from the mean account for about 95%
and three standard deviations from the mean account for about 99.7%.
