    PROJECT No. 2 (Group Project) : Normal Distribution

    Uploaded by

    Rudyr Bacolod
    This document provides instructions for a group project to determine if the heights of boys and girls in a school follow a normal distribution. Students must measure the heights of 30 randomly selected boys and 30 randomly selected girls. To check for normality, they should draw a histogram and check for outliers, skewness, and whether the mean, median and standard deviation are almost the same.

    Normal Distribution

    In a probability theory, a normal distribution is a type of continuous probability distribution for a


    real-valued random variable. A normal distribution is symmetric about the mean, showing that
    data near the mean are more frequent in occurrence than data far from the mean. In a graph form,
    normal distribution will appear as a bell curve. For you project, you have to determine whether
    the heights of both boys and girls in LSHS follow a normal distribution. To do this, you have to
    measure the heights of randomly selected 30 boys and 30 girls in LSHS.

    DETERMINING THE NORMALITY OF A DATA SET

    Some of the inferences we will draw about a population given sample data depend upon the
    underlying distribution being a normal distribution. There are multiple ways to check how
    "normal" a given data set is, but for now it will suffice to

    1. Draw a histogram. If the histogram departs dramatically from a "bell-shaped curve", one
    should not assume the underlying distribution is normal.


    2. Check for outliers. Carefully investigate any that are found. If they were the result of a
    legitimate error, it may be safe to throw out that value and proceed. If not, or if there is
    more than one outlier, the distribution might not be normal.

    3. Check for skewness. If the histogram indicates a strong skew to the right or left, the
    underlying distribution is likely not normal.

    4. Calculate for the measure of central tendency. The mean, median, and standard deviation
    should be almost the same.
