Properties of a Normal Distribution
Areasunder the
NormalCurve
1. The normal distribution is bellshaped
Applicationof
NormalDistribution
3. The normal distribution is unimodal
2. The mean, median, and mode are equal and are
located at the center of the distribution
4. The normal distribution curve is symmetric about
the mean (the shape are same on both sides)
5. The normal distribution is continuous

Properties of a Normal Distribution
6. The normal curve is asymptotic (it never touches the
xaxis)
7. The total area under the part of a normal
distribution curve is 1.00 or 100%
8. The area under the part of a normal curve that lies
within 1 standard deviation of the mean is 68%;
within 2 standard deviations, about 95%; and within
3 standard deviations, about 99.7%

Standard NormalDistribution
Steps for Finding a Probability for X
1. Draw a normal curve
2. Translate the problem into one of the following: P(0
< Z < b), P(a < Z < 0), P(X < a), P(X > b), or P(a < X < b).
Shade in the area on the normal curve
where Z = Z value
X = the value of any particular observation or
measurement
= population mean
= population standard deviation
3. Transform a (and/or b) into a Zvalue, using the Z
X
formula:
Z
4. Look up the transformed Zvalue on the Ztable (see
the preceding section) and find its probability
