INTRODUCTION:

There are many events in real life that generate random variables that have
the natural tendency to approximate the shape of a bell.

For example, the heights of many seedlings that we see in fields normally,
consist of a few tall ones, a few short ones, and most of them having heights
in between tall and short.
INTRODUCTION:

If a well-prepared test is administered to a class of 100 students, there


will be a few high scores, as well as a few low scores. Most of the
scores will be found in between these two extremes scores.

If a distribution consists of a very large number of cases and the three


measures of averages (mean, median, mode) are equal, then the
distribution is symmetrical, and the skewness is zero.
• In Statistics, such
distribution is called normal
distribution or simply
normal curve.
NORMAL CURVE

The normal curve has a very important role in inferential statistics.

It provides a graphical representation of statistical values that are


needed in describing the characteristics of populations as well as in
making decisions.
NORMAL CURVE

It is defined by an equation that uses the population mean, μ and the


standard deviation, σ.

There is no single curve, but rather a whole family of normal curves


that have the same basic characteristics but have different means and
standard deviations.
Graph of the Normal Distribution
• The graph of the normal distribution depends on two
factors: the mean (μ), and the standard deviation (σ).
• In fact, the mean and standard deviation characterize
the whole distribution.
• That is, we can get areas under the normal curve
given information about the mean and standard
deviation.
Graph of the Normal Distribution
• The mean determines the location of the center
of the bell -shaped curve.
• Thus, a change in the value of the mean shifts
the graph of the normal curve to the right or to
the left.
TAKE NOTE!

• For symmetric distributions with a single


peak, such as the normal curve, take note
that; Mean = Median = Mode.
FROM THE FIGURE:
• The cure above on the left, is shorter and wider
than the curve on the right, because the curve
on the left has a bigger standard deviation.
• Note, that a normal curve is symmetric about its
mean and is more concentrated in the middle
rather than in the tails.
