Normal Distribution
normal distribution
Locate the area under the
normal curve.
Determine the probability
of a given z score values
under the normal curve..
What is a Normal Distribution?
Normal Distribution
is a probability distribution that is symmetric about the mean, showing that data near the mean are
more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean. In graph form, a normal distribution will
appear as a bell curve.
What are the features of a normal distribution in statistics?
Features of a normal distribution
- single peak .
- it is a bell shape curve.
- It is symmetrical around the mean,
the mean lies at the center of the distribution.
- its total area under the curve is 1 .
thus the area of the curve in each side is 0.5
- tails of the curve can be extended indefinitely and
asymptotic to the horizontal axis.
- the probability between two given points is equal to the area under the curve between those points.
How to standardize a given value?
Formula: z = (x – μ) ÷σ
where ;
x - is the raw score
μ - is the population mean
σ – is the population standard deviation
What are the uses of z – score?
A z-score (or standard score) represents how many standard deviations a given measurement
deviates from the mean. In other words it merely re-scales, or standardizes, your data.
A z-score serves to specify the precise location of each observation (value or score ) within a
distribution.
Note:
The sign of the z-score (+ or - ) indicates whether the score is above (+) or below ( - ) the mean
value. A z-score is calculated by subtracting the mean value from the value of the observation, and
dividing by the standard deviation. Commonly, a known reference sample or population mean and
standard deviation are used.
Finding Areas under the normal curve.
◦The probability between two given points in the distribution is equal to the area under the curve
between those points.
◦To find the probabilities of any problem about normal curve or normal distribution, we use the table
of z – score after converting the raw score to standard score.
Normal Distribution
Familiarization of using the z-score table in the finding the area under the normal curve.
Example:
Find the area under the normal curve of the following. Using z-table, sketch the graph of the following;
1. between z = 0 and z = 1.25
2. Between z = 0 and z = - 2.35 =
3. To the right of z = 1.45
4. To the left of z = - 1.34
5. Between z = - 1.25 and z = 2.35
6. Between z = 1.23 and z = 2.36
7. To left of z = 1.25
