[QUOTE="Anonymous, post: 4320"] For ya'll out there into statistics (a long 4-letter word, I know): Given a statistically valid sample (usually not less than N = 120), collected at random for a given breed, trait, or whatever, according to the probability curve: About 67% of individuals will fall within +/- 1 standard deviation of the mean for any sampled item. Two standard deviations will include about 95% of the sampled population; and 3 standard deviations will include about 98% of the population. So, for a hypothetical pure sample of anything, if the Mean (average) of something is 100, then +/- one standard deviation approximately 67% of the "anything" would fall between a value of 85 and 115. Again, the assumption is (on a pure sample) that a standard deviation is about 1/6 of the range...in a theoretical perfect distribution of cases, scores, items, measurements, or whatever.
