12.6Normal Distributions Review Tomorrow and Friday Ch. 12 Test: MONDAY!
Normal Distribution • A normal distribution of data varies randomly from the mean, creating a mound-shaped pattern that is symmetric about the mean when graphed.
Example 1: • Approximate each probability. • P(x > 1.6) We are going to use our calculators!!!
Solution… • Press the “2nd” button, then the “vars” button…your screen should look like this: • Then scroll down to number 2, “normalcdf”
Solution Cont’d… • This is what your screen should look like now: • Back to our example: P(x > 1.6) Answer: about 0.0548
You Try: • P(-2.0 < x < 0.4) • P(x < -0.8) • P(-1.2 < x < 1.6)
