Announcements • ACT math session TOMORROW during 8th and 9th periods in the library • HW Hall today and tomorrow until 4:30pm
This week’s vocabulary • Normal distribution • Standard deviation • Interval • z • Area under the curve
Graphing Distributions p. 394 • m affects the curve by • s affects the curve by
Normal Areas p. 397 • We’ve looked at how the normal curve moves, now let’s look at the area under the normal curve. • In this assignment, we’re examining the standard normal curve, where m=0 and s=1. • We know the areas under the normal curve within 1 and 2 standard deviations about the mean. • Can we estimate areas within other intervals?
Tonight’s HW • HW8 p. 400-401 is due tomorrow at the beginning of class. • Notes p. 387-391 are due tomorrow at the beginning of class.
