    This document provides information about the normal distribution including: 1) The normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution described by a bell-shaped curve. 2) The normal curve is determined by two parameters: the mean (μ) which indicates the center and the standard deviation (σ) which indicates the spread. 3) Examples of normal curves with different means and standard deviations are shown to illustrate how changing these parameters affects the shape of the curve.

    UNDERSTANDING NORMAL DISTRIBUTION


    A normal distribution is a continuous probability distribution for a random variable. The graph of a normal
    distribution is called the normal curve. The equation of the normal curve with a mean 𝜇 and a standard deviation 𝜎 is:
    2
    1 𝑋− 𝜇
    − ( )
    𝑒 2 𝜎 Based on the equation of the
    𝑌= normal curve, the appearance of

    𝑌 – height of the curve in a particular depends on two values, the mean
    values of X 𝜇, and the standard deviation 𝜎
    𝑋 – any score in the distribution
    𝜎 – standard deviation of the population of the distribution, as illustrated
    𝜇 – mean of the population at the left.

    Understanding Mean and Standard Deviation


    Normal distribution can have any mean and
    any positive standard deviation. These two parameters,
    𝜇 and 𝜎, determine the shape of the normal curve. The
    mean gives the location of the line of symmetry, and
    the standard deviation describes how much the data are
    spread out.
    Figure 1 shows some examples of normal
    curve with different means and standard deviations.
    Normal curve (A) shows a minimal standard deviation, Consider the given figure above, one of the inflection
    (B) with medium standard deviation, and (C) with a points occur one standard deviation to the left of the mean,
    large standard deviation. Normal curves (A) and (C) and the other occurs one standard deviation to the right of
    have the same means, and (B) with a large mean. the mean.

    Properties of Normal Distribution:


    1. The distribution curve is bell shape.
    2. The curve is symmetrical about its center.
    3. The mean, the median, and the mode coincide at the center of the distribution.
    4. The width of the curve is determined by the standard deviation of the distribution.
    5. The curve is asymptotic with respect to the x-axis, as it extends farther and farther away from the mean.
    6. The total area under the normal curve is equal to 1.

    Example: Questions:
    1. Which normal curve has a greater mean?
    2. Which normal curve has a greater standard deviation?
    Solutions:
    1. The line of symmetry of curve A occurs at x = 15. The line of symmetry
    of curve B occurs at x = 12. So, curve A has a greater mean.
    2. Curve B is more spread out than curve A. So, curve B has a greater
    standard deviation.

    ACTIVITY:
    Consider the given figure below and answer the following questions.
    Questions:
    1. Which of the following illustrates a normal curve distribution?
    2. Which normal curve has a greater mean? Explain your answer.
    3. Which normal curve has a greater standard deviation? Explain your
    answer.
    4. Compare the means of A and C.
    5. Compare the standard deviations of A and B.
