How do you call a measure of variation?

Mean absolute deviation

How do you call the observation that for most bell-shaped distributions, about 68% of the data lie within one standard deviation of the mean, 95% within two standard deviations, and over 99% within 3 standard deviations?

Empirical Rule

How do you call the proportion of observations that lie within k standard deviations of the mean is at least 1 − 1/k2?
