This lesson asked you to investigate what it means for data to fall within 1, 2, and 3 standard deviations from the mean in a variety of normal distribution curves. Imagine that you hold a position on your city council and are in charge of creating new programs to benefit members of your community. In some cases, you must also decide which parts of the population are eligible for enrollment in a given program. How might the concept of standard deviations from the mean be interpreted in your decisions? For example, is it fair to make most programs only available to populations within 1 standard deviation from the mean? Can you imagine cases where you might want to create new programs for people who fall toward the extreme ends of the distribution?
