1 Normal Distribution A common way that measured data is distributed. It is measured with the MEAN and STANDARD DEVIATION Symmetrical graph The Relative frequencies are always the same 34% 13.5% 2.35% 0.15% 2.35% 0.15% Pg 21

2 A group of students take a test and their scores follow a normal distribution with a mean of 85 and a standard deviation of 3. 1) what % of students scored higher than 91 on the test? 2) What % of students scored more than 85 on the test? 3) what % of students scored between 79 and 88 on the test? 4) 84% of the students scored above WHAT score? 34% 13.5% 2.35% 0.15% 2.35% 0.15% 76 79 82 85 88 91 94 Mean = 85 “Count by” St. Dev. = 3 These are the 2 sections to the right of 91 So 2.35 + 0.15 = 2.5% These are the 4 sections to the right of 85 So 34 + 13.5 + 2.35 + 0.15 = 50% These are the 3 sections between 79 and 88 So 13.5 + 34 + 34 = 81.5% #1 #2 #3 We are looking for scores ABOVE a certain value so count from the right Add up the % until you get to 84. 0.15 + 2.35 + 13.5 + 34 + 34 = 84% So 84% of the students scored above a 82 on the test #4
