The Normal Distribution
Chapter 2
![Page 2: The Normal Distribution](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56813144550346895d97c1dd/html5/thumbnails/2.jpg)
Continuous Random Variable
• A continuous random variable:– Represented by a function/graph.– Area under the curve represents the proportions of
the observations– Total area is exactly 1.
• How do we locate the median for a continuous random variable? the mean?
• The median is the value that divides the graph into equal area while the mean is the “balance” point.

Continuous Random Variable 1
What percent of the observations lie below 0.4?
0.50.4
A= .4(1) =0.4
40%

Continuous Random Variable 2
What proportion of the observations lie above 0.6?
0.6
A= 1.4(.5) =0.7
Notice, to find proportion for observation above, we can use the complement rule.

Continuous Random Variable 3
• Where is the mean and median?• How will the curve change as changes?
![Page 6: The Normal Distribution](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56813144550346895d97c1dd/html5/thumbnails/6.jpg)
Normal Distributions
• Symmetric, single-peaked, and mound-shaped distributions are called normal distributions
• Normal curves:– Mean = median– The mean and standard deviation completely
determine the shape

The Normal Curve
• Will finding proportions work different than previous random variable examples?
• Empirical Rule Discovery

What’s Normal in Statistics?
• Normal distributions are good descriptions for real data allowing measures of relative position to be easily calculated (i.e. percentiles)
• Much of statistical inference (in this course) procedures area based on normal distributions
• FYI: many distributions aren’t normal

Iliana’s Grade
• After 5 weeks of class Iliana must transfer from a stat class at Lanier to this class. Last week was the chapter 1 test in both classes. Iliana scored a 61 out of 70. Let’s say our test was out of 100 points. What score should she be given?
![Page 24: The Normal Distribution](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56813144550346895d97c1dd/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
Iliana’s claim
• Iliana claims that her test at Lanier was harder than our test.
• Does your previous method of assigning a grade take in consideration difficulty?
• If we have all of the data, what important facts can we utilize to improve our assignment of Iliana’s grade?
![Page 25: The Normal Distribution](https://reader035.vdocument.in/reader035/viewer/2022062719/56813144550346895d97c1dd/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Important Facts
• Maximum possible on our test was 100 pts while Lanier’s test was 70 pts.
• Mean score on Lanier’s test was 50.5 pts while our test was 77.2 pts.
• Standard deviation on Lanier’s test was 5.3 pts while ours was 8.1 pts.
• Test scores from both high schools tend to be normally distributed.
• How will we fairly assign Iliana’s score?

1. Suppose as student has taken two quizzes in a statistics course. On the first quiz the mean score was 32, the standard deviation was 8, and the student received a 44. The student obtained a 28 on the second quiz, for which the mean was 23 and the standard deviation was 3. If test scores are approximately normal, on which quiz did the student perform better relative to the rest of the class?
