If the distribution of hate crimes was normally distributed, we would expect 68 percent of the data points to be within 1 standard deviations of the mean?
1) What percent of your 12 data points fall within μσ  μ+σ (In other words 1 SD on both sides of your mean)? You will need to count how many of the 12 data points fall within these two values, then divide by 12.
Give answer as a percent.
2) Get u2σ (The mean -2' the standard deviation: Two SD below the mean)3) Get μ+2σ (the mean +2' the standard deviation: Two SD above the mean)
If the distribution of hate crimes was normally distributed, we would expect 95 percent of the data points to be within 2 standard deviations of the mean?
4) What percent of your 12 data points fall within μ2σ  μ+2σ (In other words 2 SD on both sides of your mean)?
Give answer as a percent.

Step 1
As per empirical Rule
- 68% falls within the 1 standard deviation from the mean.
- 95% fall within 2 standard deviations.
- 7% fall within 3 standard deviations.
Step 2
1) 68% of 12 data points lies within 1 standard deviation
2) 952=47.5% Below mean and 2 standard deviation
0.50.475=0.025
2.5% of data points lies below μ2σ
3) 952=47.5% Above mean and 2 standard deviation
0.50.475=0.025
2.5% of data points lies above μ+2σ
4) 95% of 12 data points lies within 2 standard deviation.
