2 USF/ICC Transformation Order, 26 FCC Rcd at 17694, Para. 84 (footnote included) “The standard deviation is a
measure of dispersion. The sample standard deviation is the square root of the sample variance. The sample variance
is calculated as the sum of the squared deviations of the individual observations in the sample of data from the
sample average divided by the total number of observations in the sample minus one. In a normal distribution, about
68 percent of the observations lie within one standard deviation above and below the average and about 95 percent
of the observations lie within two standard deviations above and below the average.”
