Note that standardizing (i.e., taking a bunch of observations,
subtracting the mean, and dividing by the standard deviation) does not
necessarily ensure that the data will fall into any particular interval.
In fact, it is impossible for the data to fall into the interval (0,1)
because some observations will be above and some below the mean.
