ROBLES - Module 4 Question

The document discusses standard deviation and percentiles. It provides examples of calculating standard deviation for both raw data and grouped frequency distributions. It also shows how to find the 35th, 40th, and 60th percentiles for different datasets. Finally, it asks questions about the probability and percent values for a normal distribution with a mean of 15 and standard deviation of 3.
