2. 5/27/16 Lesson 11-10 Normal Distributions
Algebra II

3. Learning Objective
To find normal distribution

4. Distribution
Discrete Probability Distribution – has a finite number of possible events, or values
Continuous Probability Distribution – Events can be any value in an interval of real numbers. Large data set
Normal Distribution – data that vary randomly from the mean. Normal Curve

5. Normal Curve

6. Distribution
Skewed Data – distribution is an asymmetric curve where one end stretches out further than the other end
- Data do not vary predictably from the mean
- Do not use mean & standard deviation to estimate percentages for skewed data

7. Normal Curve
1. Sketch a normal curve for each of the distribution. Label the x – axis values at one, two, and three standard deviation from the mean.

9. Normal Curve
3. The bar graph gives the weights of a population of female brown bears. The curve shows how the weights are normally distributed about the mean, 115 kg.
Approximately what percent of the female brown bears weight between 100 and 129 kg.
23% + 42% + 23%
= 88%

10. Normal Curve
4. Approximately what percent of the female brown bears weight less than 120 kg.
23% + 42% + 5%
= 70%
less than 120 kg

11. Normal Curve
5. The standard deviation in the weights of female brown bears is about 10 kg. Approximately what % of the female brown bears have weights that are within 1.5 standard deviation of the mean?
