Normal distribution- is modeled by a bell-shaped curve called a normal curve. • The normal curve is symmetric about the mean, and the total area under the curve is 1. • A normal distribution has a mean x and a standard deviation σ
Example 1 • Sketch the normal curve that has a mean (x) of 10 and a standard deviation(σ) of 2.
Example 2 • A normal distribution has mean x and standard deviation σ. Find the indicated probability of a randomly selected x-value from the distribution. • 1. P(x ≤ x + σ) • 2. P(x ≤ x ≤ x+ σ) • 3. P(x ≥ x+ σ)
Example 3 • A normal distribution has a mean of 10 and a standard deviation of 2. Find the probability that a randomly selected x-value from the distribution is in the interval. • Between 8 and 12 b. At most 6 c. At least 12 d. At most 14
The Empirical Rule • Empirical Rule is as follows: • If a distribution is normal, then approximately: • 68% of the data will be located within one standard deviation symmetric to the mean • 95% of the data will be located within two standard deviations symmetric to the mean • 99.7% of the data will be located within three standard deviations symmetric to the mean
