Chapter 6.1 Normal Distributions
2
Distributions
3
Normal Distribution A normal distribution is a continuous, bell-shaped distribution of a variable. Normal curves each have their own means and standard deviations
4
Properties of the Normal Distribution 1.Bell-shaped 2.The mean, median, and mode are equal and are located at the center of the distribution. 3.Unimodal 4.Symmetric about the mean 5.Continuous 6.Never touches the x-axis 7.Total area under the curve is 1.00 or 100%
5
Remember this? Normal Curve and Standard Deviation
6
Find the area under the curve for each of the following: 1.Area to the left of the mean 2.Area to the left of one standard deviation below the mean 3.Area to the right of two standard deviations above the mean
7
The standard normal distribution The standard normal distribution is a normal distribution with a mean of 0 and a standard deviation of 1.
8
z-score Recall that z-score, or standard score is:
9
Find area under the standard normal distribution curve Reading the table 1.Find the area for a z-score of 1.39 2.Find the area for a z-score of -0.25 3.Find the z-score for an area of.6293 4.Find the z-score for an area of.0012
10
To the left: Find the are to the left of z=2.06
11
To the right Find the area to the right of z=-1.19
12
Between Find the area between z=+1.68 and z=-1.37
13
Find the following probabilities 1.P(z < 1.65) 2.P(z > 1.91) 3.P(0 < z < 2.32)
14
Find z-value Find the z-value such that the area under the standard normal distribution curve between 0 and the z value is 0.2123
