    The document discusses the normal distribution and its properties. It defines the normal distribution as a continuous probability distribution consisting of a large number of cases where the measures of central tendency are equal. The normal distribution has a bell-shaped, symmetric curve with the mean, median, and mode being equal. The standard deviation determines the spread of the curve. The tails of the normal curve flatten out indefinitely along the x-axis without touching it. The area under the curve is 1 or 100%. It also discusses how to find the percentage of values within a certain range of a normal distribution, how to convert a value to a z-score, and how to find percentiles from z-scores.

    PRELIMINARIES

    NORMAL
    DISTRIBUTION AND
    ITS PROPERTIES
    DEFINITION

    NORMAL DISTRIBUTION
     is a probability distribution of continuous
    random variables.
     is a distribution consisting of a very large
    number of cases and the three measures
    of central tendencies are equal.
    DEFINITION

    PROPERTIES OF NORMAL DISTRIBUTION


    • The distribution curve
    is bell – shaped.
    • The curve is symmetric
    about is mean (center)
    DEFINITION

    PROPERTIES OF NORMAL DISTRIBUTION


    • The mean, median, and
    mode are equal.
    • The spread of the
    curve is determined by
    the standard deviation
    of the distribution.
    DEFINITION

    PROPERTIES OF NORMAL DISTRIBUTION


    • The tails of the curve flatten
    out indefinitely along the
    horizontal axis, always
    approaching the axis but
    never touching it. That is, the
    curve is asymptotic to the x –
    axis.
    • The area under the curve is
    1or 100%.
    DEFINITION

    STANDARD NORMAL CURVE


    Is a normal probability distribution
    that has a mean and a standard
    deviation .

    EXAMPLE 2
    The school nurse of Luis Y. Ferrer Jr. Senior High
    School needs to measure the BMI (Body Mass
    Index) of HUMSS 11 students. She found out that
    the heights of male students are normally
    distributed with a mean of 160 cm and standard
    deviation of 7 cm. Find the percentage of male
    students whose height is within 153 cm to 174
    cm.

    CASES:
    EXAMPLE 1
    Determine each of the following areas and show these
    graphically. Use probability notation in your final answer.
    1. to the left of
    2. at most
    3. at least
    4. above

    EXAMPLE 2
    Each group will work collaboratively to answer the given
    problem.
    The monthly income of 200 employees at Walter Mart
    Manggahan is distributed normally. Suppose the mean
    monthly income is 9000 pesos and the standard deviation is
    300 pesos.
    a. What percentage of the employees earns more than 15, 000
    pesos per month?
    b. What percentage of the employees earn between 5,000
    pesos to 15,000 pesos?
    CONVERTING A NORMAL
    RANDOM VARIABLE TO A
    STANDARD NORMAL
    SCORE
    FORMULA

    Z – Score
    The areas under the normal curve are
    given in terms of z – values or scores.
    Either the z – scores locate X within a
    sample or within a population.
    FORMULA

    The formula for calculating z is:

    (z – score for population data)

    (z – score for sample data)


    EXAMPLE 1

    Joan’s score in mathematics is 85. The


    mean of the test is 80 and the standard
    deviation is 6. Find the z value that
    corresponds to Joan’s score.
    EXAMPLE 2

    In a population of Reading scores, the


    mean , and the standard deviation . Find
    the z value that corresponds to a score .
    EXAMPLE 3

    The time it takes for a cell to divide is


    normally distributed with an average of 60
    minutes and standard deviation of 5
    minutes. How long will it take for a given cell
    to divide if its “mitosis” has a z-score of -
    1.35?
    COMPUTE PERCENTILE
    CORRESPONDING TO THE
    Z-SCORE
    EXAMPLE 1
    Based on findings, the average monthly salary of 800 college
    professors in the university belt area is normally distributed with
    a mean of Php 55,000.00 and a standard deviation of Php
    5,000.00. Find:
    a. The z-score of the professor with an income of Php 65,000.00
    b. The probability that a randomly selected professor has a
    monthly salary of Php 60,000.00.
    c. The probability that a randomly selected professor has a
    monthly salary between Php 45,000.00 and Php 58,000.00
    d. The number of professors with a salary less than Php
    50,000.00
    EXAMPLE 2
    Suppose that the IQ scores of Grade 11 students of a certain
    school is normally distributed with a mean of 110 and standard
    deviation of 16.
    a. What is the probability that a randomly selected Grade 11
    students has an IQ score of 125?
    b. What is the probability that the IQ score of a randomly selected
    Grade 11 student is less than or equal to 120?
    c. What is the probability that the IQ score of a randomly selected
    Grade 11 student is between 94 and 150?
    d. How many students have an IQ score greater than 80 if there
    are 2000 students in all?
