    Uploaded by

    Hanna Galati
    The document discusses the standard normal distribution and how to convert between normal random variables and their corresponding z-scores. It provides properties of the standard normal distribution including that 68.3% of the data falls within 1 standard deviation of the mean. The document also gives examples of how to calculate probabilities using the normal distribution table and finds probabilities for various intervals of the normal distribution.

    Standard Normal

    Distribution and Normal


    Distribution Table
    Objectives:
    • Identify the regions under the normal curve corresponding to
    the different standard normal values.
    • Convert a normal random variable to standard normal values
    and vice versa.
    • Use the normal distribution table to get the area under the
    normal curve for a given interval.
    Normal Random Variable X
    is in standardized form of its value is expressed
    as the number of standard deviations (σ) that lies
    to the left or to the right of the mean (μ).
    Formula to convert raw scores to standard scores.

    Where:
    Z is the standard score
    μ is the population mean
    X is the raw score
    σ is the population standard deviation
    The area under the normal curve that lies
    within one standard deviation Z = -1 and Z = 1 is
    approximately 68.3%, while the area within Z = -2
    and Z = 2 is approximately 95.4%, and within Z = -
    3 and Z = 3, approximately 99.7%

    In probability notation, these can be written as:


    P (-1 < Z < 1) = 0.683
    P (-2 < Z < 2) = 0.954
    P (-3 < Z < 3) = 0.997
    The standard normal distribution has the following
    properties:
    1. The total area under the standard normal curve is
    equal to 1.
    2. The standard normal distribution is symmetrical
    about the mean (μ = 0)
    3. The area to the right and to the left of the mean (μ
    = 0) is 0.5
    4. The 3 measures of central tendency, which are the
    mean, the median and the mode, are equal and
    are located at the axis of symmetry
    5. The tails of a standard normal curve are
    asymptotic relative to the horizontal line.
    6. The standard normal curve area may be
    divided into at least 3 standard scores each to the
    left and to the right of the mean before the left
    and the right tails appear to touch the horizontal
    lines.
    7. Along the horizontal line, the distance from
    one integral standard score to the next integral
    standard score is equal to 1.
    8. The probability that the standard random
    variable Z will fall into an interval a to b is equal
    to the area shaded region under the standard
    normal curve between two points a and b.
    I AM IN A HURRY!
    A bank located in a business center wants to
    improve the process in serving the customer
    during lunch break. They recorded the customers’
    time spent (in minutes) from entering the line until
    they finished their transaction. They found out
    that the customers spent an average time of 15.8
    minutes with a standard deviation of 1.25
    minutes. If they time is normally distributed, what
    is the probability that a customer chosen at
    random will consume more than 15 minutes to
    finish his transaction in the bank? Illustrate the
    problem in a normal curve.
    In a normal curve, identify the region being
    describe by each of the following. Shade the
    region and find the area.
    1. P(0 < Z < 1.50)
    2. P(-2.34 < Z < 1.50)
    3. P(Z < 1.50)
    4. P(Z < -2.34)
    5. P(1.50 < Z < 2.34)
    The random variable X is normally distributed
    with a mean of 42 and standard deviation of 5.
    Find the values of the random variable X and
    random variable Z given the areas of the intervals
    under the standardized normal curve.

    1. Between 0 and Z is 0.3944


    2. Between 0 and Z is 0.2967
    3. To the right of Z is 0.0207
    4. To the left of Z is 0.9861
    Seatwork:
    Find the raw score of each problem when the mean
    is provided like 56 and a standard deviation of 3.
    Sketch it in a normal distribution curve.
    1. Between 0 and Z is 0.2764
    2. Between 0 and Z is 0.3888
    3. To the right of 0.0021
    4. To the right of 0.8159
    5. To the left of 0.0495
    Application of Normal distribution
    A random variable has a normal distribution
    with a mean of 60 and a standard deviation of 4.
    Find the probability that:
    1. The value of x is between 60 and 70
    2. The value of x is greater than 65
    3. The value of x is less than 62.48

    Seatwork:
    4. The value of x is between 53 and 60
    5. The value of x is between 54 and 71
