Normal Distribution

The document discusses properties of the normal distribution, which is a continuous and symmetric bell-shaped distribution. It can be transformed into a standard normal distribution using z-scores of (value-mean)/standard deviation. Examples are then given of calculating z-scores and corresponding probabilities for given data points from a normal distribution with a mean of 123.2 and standard deviation of 3.5.

NORMAL DISTRIBUTION

Undoubtedly, the most widely used model for the distribution SUMMARY OF THE PROPERTIES OF THE THEORETICAL
of a random variable is a normal distribution. A normal NORMAL DISTRIBUTION:
distribution is a continuous, symmetric, bell-shaped distribution
of a variable.

Normal Distribution:
Standard Normal Distribution:
All normally distributed variables can be transformed into the
standard normally distributed variable by using the formula for
the standard scored:
𝑣𝑎𝑙𝑢𝑒−𝑚𝑒𝑎𝑛 𝑥−𝜇
𝑧= or 𝑧 =
𝑠𝑡𝑎𝑛𝑑𝑎𝑟𝑑 𝑑𝑒𝑣𝑖𝑎𝑡𝑖𝑜𝑛 𝜎

Illustration
Standard Normal Distribution and Z-scores. Determine the z-
score and its corresponding probability for the following. Show
your solutions. (Use 2 decimal places for z-score, 4 decimal
Normal and Skewed Distribution places for probability values)
1. Given x = ̅ 123.2 and s=3.5.
a. P(X<116)
b. P(X>130.4)
c. P(X is between 124 and 132.6)
d. P(X is between 117.3 and 126)
