1 Last Name First Name Class Time Chapter 6-1 Chapter 6: The Normal Distribution Bell-shaped probability density function. Graph is symmetric about a vertical line through the mean. Highest point, the peak, is over the mean. X values can be any real number. - < X < Curve approaches the horizontal axis, an asymptote, but does not cross it. Area under the entire curve is probability. Total area under the curve is 1. Widely used for the distribution of random variables in social, physical and natural sciences For ANY Normal Probability Distribution, the probability for the interval µ + 1 : within + 1 standard deviations from the mean is P(µ - 1 <X< µ + 1 ) = 0.68 µ + 2 : within + 2 standard deviations from the mean is P(µ - 2 <X< µ + 2 ) = 0.95 µ + 3 : within + 3 standard deviations from the mean is P(µ - 3 <X< µ + 3 ) = Exploring the Normal Probability Distribution The probability density function for the normal distribution is: 1 x 2 e f ( x) 2 2 I II You will not be tested on this! III X The mean is a measure of centrality. µ = Mean The mean is the x-value under the peak. µ = Mean = Median = Mode The standard deviation, gives a measurement of the spread of data away from the mean. The standard deviation, is the horizontal distance from µ to the point of inflection, the distance between the mean to the x-value where the curve changes concavity from "frowning" to "smiling". The normal distributions above have means of µ = 5, µ = 10 and µ = 0. The normal distributions above have standard deviations of = 0.5, = 1 and = 2. Fill in the blanks to identify which graphs (I, II, or III) have these means and standard deviations. : µ = 5 : µ = 10 : µ = 0 : = 0.5 : = 1 : = 2
2 Last Name First Name Class Time Chapter 6-2 C. Sketch a normal distribution with a mean of µ = 2 and a standard deviation of = 0.5 For Examples 1 23: Label the mean and values along axes and label the area. Use your calculator to find probabilities and percentiles. o For probabilities use: 2nd Stat Vars 2:normalcdf(lower bound, upper bound,, ) o For percentiles use: 2nd Stat Vars 2:invNorm(decimal area to the left of k,, ) Shade the area representing the probability. Your shaded area should be a reasonable size for the probability. Find the corresponding z-scores for the mean, and given x values. Draw a second axis. Label it Z. Z is the standardized normal distribution. Z ~ N(0, 1) Label the z-scores and mean value on your Z axis. (z-scores must align exactly with x values!!) Use = signs to connect the probability statements to calculator commands. Estimate your answer to 4 decimal places. Examples 1 11: Write your answers as: P (a < X < b) = normalcdf(a, b,, ) = decimal value to 4 places. Remember: P (a < X < b) = P (a X b) Why? P(X = a constant) =, because the normal distribution is.

Assume the charging speeds for each family of elephants are normally distributed. Elephant Elephant Charging Speed (mph) Family mean charging speed (mph) Family charging speed standard deviation (mph) Dumbo Horton Which elephant is faster when compared to his own family? a.

NOTE Using z-scores and percentiles lead to the equivalent results and the same conclusion.. Using the specified normal distribution X~N(3.0, 0.7) and Y~N(80, 10) give the same probabilities and percentiles as are obtained by using the Z score with the standard normal distribution, Z ~ N(0, 1)

Identify the value of the mean for each of the 4 axes. Identify and label the positions of the running times for A, B, and G on their respective scales Identify and label the positions of the z-scores for A, B, and G on the z-scale. Z X Alpha X Beta X Gamma
10 Last Name First Name Class Time Chapter 6-10 For Exercises 26-30, do the following. Write the initial probability statement. Write the appropriate calculator command with parameter values. Use your calculator to find the probabilities or percentiles to 4 decimal places. Neatly sketch a graph. Label the mean and relevant x-values on the horizontal axis. Shade the area representing the probability. Label the probability of the shaded area. Take care that the size of the area you shade is a reasonably represents the value of probability. You do not need to calculate z-scores or show a second axis for standardized scores. Example 26: A local factory makes chocolate bars.

Find the probability that the chocolate bar weighs between 27.0 and 28.2 grams b. Find the probability that the chocolate bar weighs at most 27 grams. c. Find the 45th percentile.
