What is 3 Standard deviation above the mean ?

324 viewsMathematicsOther

I was watching this compilated YouTube video about work ethic, that some scientists (including Feynman) were speaking. There was this guy saying something along, “I think to have great outcomes, you actually do need to work at like three standard deviation above the mean ”

I only remember basic statistics and simple calculations of mean and standard deviation.

Mean is an average of the dataset.

Standard Deviation is the representation of how close or far are the Datasets from mean.

But I still cannot figure out what he meant.

Note: excuse my English.

Honestly, from the context you’ve given, it’s along the lines of “You need to give 110% effort” and other such motivational nonsense.

To have great outcomes, you need to put in more work than 99% of everyone else. Something like that.
