THE NORMALDISTRIBUTION IN STATISTICS AND PROBABILITY SUBJECTpptxjazellemaeypil
油
The document provides an overview of the normal distribution and objectives for understanding its characteristics. It describes how the normal distribution illustrates random variables obtained through measurement. The normal distribution is symmetrical and bell-shaped, with the highest point occurring at the mean. Approximately 68%, 95%, and 99.7% of the data falls within 1, 2, and 3 standard deviations of the mean, respectively. The document also includes a multiple choice assessment to test understanding of normal distribution properties and concepts.

Introduction & Goals
This week's investigations introduce and explore one of the most common distributions (one you may be familiar with): the Normal Distribution. In our explorations of the distribution and its associated curve, we will revisit the question of "What is typical?" and look at the likelihood (probability) that certain observations would occur in a given population with a variable that is normally distributed. We will apply our work with Normal Distributions to briefly explore some big concepts of inferential statistics, including the Central Limit Theorem and Hypothesis Testing. There are a lot of new ideas in this weeks work. This week is more exploratory in nature.
Goals:
揃 Explore the Empirical Rule
揃 Become familiar with the normal curve as a mathematical model, its applications and limitations
揃 Calculate z-scores & explain what they mean
揃 Use technology to calculate normal probabilities
揃 Determine the statistical significance of an observed difference in two means
揃 Use technology to perform a hypothesis test comparing means (z-test) and interpret its meaning
揃 Use technology to perform a hypothesis test comparing means (t-test) (optional)
揃 Gather data for Comparative Study Final Project.

DoW #5: The SAT & The ACT
Two Common Tests for college admission are the SAT (Scholastic Aptitude Test) and the ACT (American College Test). The scores for these tests are scaled so that they follow a normal distribution.
揃 The SAT reported that its scores were normally distributed with a mean 亮=896 油and a standard deviation =174
揃 The ACT reported that its scores were normally distributed with a mean 油亮=20.6 and a standard deviation =5.2.
We have two questions to consider for this weeks DoW:
2. A high school student Bobby takes both of these tests. On the SAT, he achieves a score of 1080. On the ACT, he achieves a score of 30.油 He cannot decide which score is the better one to send with his college applications.
. Question: Which test score is the stronger score to send to his colleges?
揃 A hypothetical group called SAT Prep claims that students who take their SAT Preparatory course score higher on the SAT than the general population. To support their claim, they site a study in which a油random sample of 50 SAT Prep students油had a mean SAT score of 1000. They claim that since this mean is higher than the known mean of 896 for all SAT scores, their program must improve SAT scores.
. Question: Is this difference in the mean scores statistically significant? Does SAT Prep truly improve SAT Scores?
.
Investigation 1: What is Normal?
One reason for gathering data is to see which observations are most likely. For instance, when we looked at the raisin data in DoW #3, we were looking to see what the most likely number of raisins was for each brand of raisins. 油We cannot ever be certain of the exact number of raisins in a box (because it varies) ...
This document contains notes about describing location within a distribution. It discusses percentiles and how they describe the percentage of values below a given score. For example, the 64th percentile means 64% of scores were below that value. It also introduces z-scores as a way to standardize scores and compare values in different distributions based on their distance from the mean in units of standard deviation. Finally, it discusses density curves and how they can be used to describe an overall data pattern, with a normal distribution having 68% of values within 1 standard deviation of the mean.
This document discusses measures of dispersion and the normal distribution. It defines measures of dispersion as ways to quantify the variability in a data set beyond measures of central tendency like mean, median, and mode. The key measures discussed are range, quartile deviation, mean deviation, and standard deviation. It provides formulas and examples for calculating each measure. The document then explains the normal distribution as a theoretical probability distribution important in statistics. It outlines the characteristics of the normal curve and provides examples of using the normal distribution and calculating z-scores.

This document discusses measures of dispersion used in statistics. It defines measures such as range, quartile deviation, mean deviation, variance, and standard deviation. It provides formulas to calculate these measures and examples showing how to apply the formulas. The key points are:
- Measures of dispersion quantify how spread out or varied the values in a data set are. They help identify variation, compare data sets, and enable other statistical techniques.
- Common absolute measures include range, quartile deviation, and mean deviation. Common relative measures include coefficient of range, coefficient of quartile deviation, and coefficient of variation.
- Variance and standard deviation are calculated using all data points. Variance is the average of squared deviations

They practice computing and interpreting the range and standard deviation of sample data sets.

Answer the following questions:
What percent will fall within the score 30 to 40?
What scores fall within 95% of the distribution?
31. NORMAL PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION
Solution:
Draw a standard normal curve and plot the mean at the center.
Then, add five times the given standard deviation to the right of the
mean and subtract 5 times to the left. The illustration is provided below:
32. NORMAL PROBABILITY DISTRIBUTION
Answer:
The scores 30 to 40 falls within the first standard deviation of the mean.
Therefore, it is approximately 68% of the distribution
Since 95% lies within the 2 standard deviation of the mean, then the
corresponding scores of this distribution are from 25 up to 45

statement is incorrect.
_______1. The total area of the normal curve is 1.
_______2. The normal probability distribution has a
mean 袖 = 1 and standard deviation 董 = 0.
_______3. The normal curve is like a bell-shaped.
_______4. The curve of a normal distribution extends
indefinitely at the tails but does not touch the horizontal

36. B. Read the following problems carefully. Use
empirical rule to answer each question.
1. IQ scores of the ALS students in the Division of
Bohol are normally distributed with a mean of 110
and a standard deviation of 10. What percent of the
distribution falls within the IQ scores of 100 to 130?
2. A normal distribution of data with the mean of
78 and standard deviation of 9. What percentage of
the data would measure 87?
