It's been quite some time since I took stats, but wouldn't six standard deviations put it in the true outlier category? If I'm even twenty percent correct in what I'm trying to communicate, that's frightening.
Been a while since I studied standard deviations but I remember 2 being already an outlier, 6 is a lot of deviation
I never took statistics, but 6 is at least triple the deviations of 2, and probably even more for math reasons I neither will nor can get into.
I did take statistics and forgot most of it, but I think I'm totally fine eating 2 hotdogs but the closer I get to 6 hotdogs, the increasingly more difficult it is.
It makes you wonder how people eat hundreds of those in competitions
