Density curve for uniform distribution
If d = 7 and c =2, what would be the height of the curve?
1/5 or 0.2 because total area must equal 1
Area = l x w = (7-2) x 1/5 = 1

Normal Distributions
All Normal distributions have this general shape.
indicates the mean of a density curve.
indicates the standard deviation of a density curve.

Normal distributions are abbreviated as ; N(
The Normal distribution with mean of 0 and standard deviation of 1 is called the standard Normal curve; N(0,1)
(aka – The Empirical rule)

Example
N(6.84,1.55)
What is the z score for Iowa test score of 3.74?z = (x-
z = (3.74 – 6.84)/1.55
z = -2
This says that a score of 3.74 is 2 standard deviation below the mean

Using the 68 – 95 – 99.7 rule to solve problems
Example
What percentage of scores are greater than 5.29?

Finding Normal Percentiles by• Table A is the standard Normal table. We have to
convert our data to z-scores before using the table.• The figure shows us how to find the area to the left
when we have a z-score of 1.80:

Using Table A to find the area under the standard normal curve that lies (a) to the left of a specified z-score, (b) to the right of a specified z-score, and (c) between two specified z-scores

• Say a toy car goes an average of 3,000 yards between recharges, with a standard deviation of 50 yards (i.e., µ = 3,000 and = 50)
• What is the probability that the car will go more than 3,100 yards without recharging?
![Page 20: Chapter 2: The Normal Distributions. Distribution of data can be approximated by a smooth density curve Red shaded region represents an approximation.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d745503460f94a5503c/html5/thumbnails/20.jpg)
Determine the percentage of people having IQs between 115 and 140
P[115< x < 140]
P[(115-100)/16 < z < (140-100)/16]
P[0.94< z < 2.50]
= 0.9938 – 0.8264
= 0.1674 = 16.74%

From Percentiles to Scores: z in Reverse
• Sometimes we start with areas and need to find the corresponding z-score or even the original data value.
• Example: What z-score represents the first quartile in a Normal model?
![Page 22: Chapter 2: The Normal Distributions. Distribution of data can be approximated by a smooth density curve Red shaded region represents an approximation.](https://reader035.fdocuments.net/reader035/viewer/2022062516/56649d745503460f94a5503c/html5/thumbnails/22.jpg)
From Percentiles to Scores: z in Reverse
• Look in Table A for an area of 0.2500.• The exact area is not there, but 0.2514 is pretty close.
• This figure is associated with z = –0.67, so the first quartile is 0.67 standard deviations below the mean.
• To unstandardize; solve x = + z

X = z +
= 1.28(22) + 504

Methods for Assessing Normality
• If the data are normal– A histogram or stem-and-leaf display will look like the normal
curve– The mean ± s, 2s and 3s will approximate the empirical rule
percentages. (68%,95%,99.7%)– The ratio of the interquartile range to the standard deviation
will be about 1.3– A normal probability plot , a scatterplot with the ranked data on
one axis and the expected z-scores from a standard normal distribution on the other axis, will produce close to a straight line
