I'm working on calculating 2 and 3 standard deviations to plot on a graph. I'm using the functions mean() and std() for mean and standard deviation calculations. What I'm not understanding is if using std() function provides 1 standard deviation, why use (mean + 2*std()) and (mean + 3*std()) to get the 2 and 3 standard deviations? Would it not be (2*std()) for 2 standard deviations and (3*std()) (that is, without the mean value)? From reading other similar questions/answers here, (mean + 2*std()) and (mean + 3*std()) seems to be correct, but I'm not following why.

I think I have found the commands to get started on what I would like to display. I am trying to set the xvalues along the x axis as -3pi to 3pi as an example, and set the y values to the YTick array below. I am not sure what I am doing wrong. I keep getting the error: Array indices must be positive integers or logical values. Am I using XTick, YTick, XTicklabel correctly?
>> clear ax
>> ax = gca;
%c = ax.Color;
%ax.Color = 'blue';
ax.XTick([-3*pi -2*pi -pi 0 pi 2*pi 3*pi]);
ax.XTicklabel({'-3\pi','-2\pi','-\pi','0','\pi','2\pi','3\pi'});
ax.YTick([-1 -0.8 -0.2 0 0.2 0.8 1]);
%set(gca,'XTick', ax.xtic, 'XTickLabel', ax.xticlab, 'YTick', ax.ytic);
Array indices must be positive integers or logical values.

ax.XTick is not a function that sets the ticks. Either assign to that property or use the xticks function.
ax.XTick = [-3*pi -2*pi -pi 0 pi 2*pi 3*pi]; % or
xticks([-3*pi -2*pi -pi 0 pi 2*pi 3*pi]);
Or to simplify things a little:
ax.XTick = pi*(-3:3);
xticks(pi*(-3:3));
If you look at the See Also section at the end of the documentation page for the xticks function you'll see other similar functions that will be of use to you.
